Mystikal could be getting out of jail as early as next week if everything goes as planned. According to TMZ, a combination of funds from friends and a new record deal could lead to Mystikal’s release from Caddo Correctional Center before his trial for first degree rape and second-degree kidnapping starts this May.
Mystikal’s attorney, Joel Pearce, told TMZ that his client’s friends and family have been raising money for his $3 million bond but it was a newly-signed record deal that really helped him reach his goal.
According to Tim Yazbeck, another lawyer for Mystikal says his new deal consist of him recording three unreleased albums. He’s hoping to get an advance within days. Mystikal’s legal team is confident that the rapper can post bail and be released by the end of next week.
Mystikal’s rape trial starts May 20th.
