Mystikal Too Broke To Make Bail Lawyer Request Reduction

Mystikal is too broke to make his bail which is set at a whopping $2 million.

The legendary No Limit rapper turned himself into the Shreveport Police Department after a warrant was issued for his arrest on a rape charge. He is currently locked up the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Department on a $2 million bond. Mystikal attorney, Kenneth Beck, filed court documents last week pleading with the judge to reduce the bail amount arguing that he nor his family cannot find that amount, Bossip reported.

Mystikal, whose real name is Michael Lawrence Tyler, is charged along with another man name Averweone Holman for allegedly raping a female in Shreveport, LA last year following a concert. DNA evidence link both men to the crime and if convicted they both could face the death penalty. His next court date is set for September 26 where he will learn if the judge will lower his bond. The 1990s rap legend also told the court that he is willing to wear an ankle monitor and says he isn’t a flight risk because he is a well known celebrity.

A woman name Tenichia Wafford was also charged with accessory to the crime after she allegedly called the victim and asked her to drop the charges against the two men. She is on a $200,000 bond.
