Rapper Mystikal — best known for his 2000 hit “Shake Ya Ass” — has been sentenced to two decades behind bars over a 2022 rape case.
According to ABC affiliate WBRZ, the Louisiana hitmaker was handed down a 20-year sentence on Tuesday for third-degree rape.
Per the outlet, the rapper, whose given name is Michael Lawrence Tyler, responded in court Tuesday after the victim requested the maximum sentence.
“If I did that to you, I deserve the max sentence,” he said.
The Grammy-nominated rapper pled guilty in March in an Ascension Parish, Louisiana court — though on Friday, ahead of the sentencing, Tyler’s attorney filed documents asking to withdraw the guilty plea.
Per WBRZ, the motion stated that the musician “did not have sufficient opportunity to fully consider the consequences” of the plea deal prior to accepting it, which downgraded the charge from the intial charges of first-degree rape.
The filing — which was dismissed — insisted that Tyler, 55, was “under significant emotional distress and felt substantial pressure to make an immediate decision” when he agreed to the plea deal.
A rep for Tyler did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Tuesday evening.

Rapper turning his life around?
Rapper turning his life around?
Yeah, he’s going to be ‘turned around’ alright.
So I’m guessing he won’t be singing the Black National Anthem at the opening of the Ubama Mausoleum?
Maybe he thought he was rapping. Probably can’t spell to good.
I guess the girl he raped didn’t understand black boy boundaries.

High culture.
But that “black boy” is 55 years old. He should know better.
It's called the belief of entitlement.
