Mystikal Headed Back to Jail


It seems Mystikal just can't get it right.

The recent Cash Money signee, who was released from state prison in 2012 after serving six years for sexual battery and extortion, will be returning to jail May 14 for three months, according to the Associated Press. This time, for violating his five-year probation following an arrest for domestic abuse.

On Monday (April 16), state District Judge Tony Marabella imposed the time on the New Orleans rapper, born Michael Tyler, 41, for the arrest back February on a misdemeanor charge of domestic abuse battery. The five-probation is a result of the extortion case, and called for him to remain arrest and conviction-fee.

Mystikal's attorney said although the rhymeslinger was ordered to spend another 90 days in jail, judge Marabella is giving him credit for the nine days he was detained after his February 22 arrest.

In related news, Mystikal recently chopped it up with XXLMag.com about his upcoming YMCMB debut and what it's like working with Cash Money vs. No Limit.

"It's coming out this year," the MC said about the project. "Original is gonna be the title. When Stunna came up with the title for that song, that **** fitted, man. This [is] where that **** came from, as far as being from New Orleans. We the founders of that music, that rap game."

As far as the difference between his former label home and the present one, Mystikal said there isn't much difference, stating, "The times are different, first of all. It's like oranges and apples. The formula is still the same. It's the Take Over The World formula and Don't Give A **** Show them what it is, don't tell them. It's just on another level. This is a new day and a new time for real."

Mystikal Says Lil Wayne & Baby Saved His Life, Talks Prison Experience


Mystikal shares that Lil Wayne and Baby saved his life, says that returning to YMCMB is "humbling" after spending six years in prison.

After spending six years in prison, Mystikal finds himself rhyming alongside Lil Wayne as part of YMCMB. During a recent interview with Hip Hop Nation, Mystikal spoke about what it means for him to be a part of such a popular label after being locked up for so long. Mystical shared that it has been "humbling" and added that Weezy, Baby and company saved his life.

"My head is still spinning right now," he shared of the transition he's experienced from going to prison to returning as part of YMCMB. "It's humbling. It's really humbling to be looking from the six years [in prison], looking up at everything. That's at the bottom of the barrel. The only thing worse than being in prison is probably death itself. So to do that for six years and then to come home and be on top with the top record label in the world? It's humbling."

Mystikal also shared that he is thus more mindful about his subject matter when rhyming. He then expressed how fortunate he feels to be in his current situation.
"That was nothing but God that allowed this situation to unfold like this," he shared. "After the debacle and everything that happened, God still showed up at the end."

Moving on, he added that Lil Wayne and Baby saved his life.

"They didn't save my career; they saved my life," he noted.
