Summary

  • Million Tyler said he hopes his father “gets the help you need” after Mystikal was sentenced to 20 years in prison in Louisiana.
  • The son told TMZ he sat in court as the victim testified and called the proceedings emotional, saying “nobody wins” and declining to say directly whether the outcome was fair.
  • Mystikal, born Michael Tyler, pleaded guilty to third-degree rape in Ascension Parish after his 2022 arrest; the deal reduced an original first-degree rape charge.
  • A judge denied Mystikal’s bid to withdraw that plea days before sentencing, and the conviction comes more than two decades after he previously served time in a separate sexual battery case.
