This month, an arrest warrant was issued for New Orleans rapper Michael “Mystikal” Tyler after DNA evidence linked him to an October 2016 rape in Shreveport, LA, nearly 14 years after his previous rape conviction.
According to several reports, Mystikal turned himself in at the Caddo Correctional Center in Shreveport, LA on Monday without incident. His bond was set at $2 million.
An associate, Tenichia Wafford, was also arrested for pressuring the victim to drop the case. She insists that she has audio proof that the accuser is making false claims – and that she only called the alleged victim to get her side of the story. Her bond was set at $200,000.
A third defendant, Averweone Holman, was also linked to the rape by DNA evidence. His bond was set at $2 million after his arrest on Aug. 18th.
The investigation is ongoing.
