Mystikal’s Son Million Tyler Says He Hopes His Father Gets Help After 20-Year Prison Sentence

Key Points:

• Mystikal, whose real name is Michael Lawrence Tyler, was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to third-degree rape in a 2022 Louisiana case, with the plea deal reducing an original first-degree rape charge that carried a life sentence.
• His son, Million Tyler, expressed emotional difficulty processing the sentence, empathizing with both the victim and his father, and stated he is not yet ready to visit Mystikal in prison but hopes to speak with him eventually.
• Million, who is pursuing a music career, revealed he has struggled to create music since the sentencing and hopes his father gets the help he needs.
• The victim spoke in court requesting the maximum sentence, and Mystikal acknowledged in court that if he committed the crime, he deserves the maximum sentence.
• Mystikal had previously served prison time for a 2003 sexual battery conviction, was released in 2010, and registered as a sex offender; prosecutors dropped several additional charges in the current case as part of the plea agreement.
