Guess who called a Louisiana radio station today to tell the world he was “out?”  Well….none other than Mr. Michael Tyler, aka, Mystikal.  He was sentenced to six years in prison in 2004 for sexual assault of his hair stylist.  He was arrested in July of 2002 along with two of his bodyguards for threatening to turn his former hairstylist in to police for cashing $80,000 worth of unauthorized checks from his bank account.  The stylist said that she was forced to have sex with all three men in exchange for their silence.  As part of a plea bargain, all three pled guilty.  Under the terms of the agreement, Mystikal has five years of probation upon his release and has to be registered as a sex offender in Louisiana.

He told the Louisiana radio station that he wants “reparations.”  Ha!  Hilarious!!!

There was one positive point in the interview where I felt like he recognized that his behavior was reprehensible and that he basically through his career away over something so silly.  This is what he had to say about both his and his peers’ mistakes.

“We gotta pay more attention to what we doing, ourselves,” he opined.  ”We can’t be foolish, especially when you’re blessed and successful beyond your dreams.  We gotta tighten up.”

Apparently, when he said “we,” he was referring to Lil Wayne and T.I.

Maybe people can change.  In any event, I wish him the best of luck.
