While details are still coming together, Friday reports claim Mystikal got released earlier today.

Mystikal is a free man … after spending more than 2 months in jail for violating his probation … TMZ has learned. The “Shake Ya Ass” rapper was released from the East Baton Rouge Parish Jail in Louisiana early this morning … where he had been incarcerated since May 14. As we previously reported, Mystikal was sentenced to 90 days behind bars after being arrested for domestic abuse … a violation of his probation from a previous sexual battery and extortion conviction.

Prior to beginning his bid, the rap veteran revealed his mental state of mind.

“Disappointed isn’t the word for it — ashamed,” Mystikal tells Billboard when asked how he’s feeling about the new jail sentence. “It’s hard to show up. If I stole your money and I gotta come face you again and you ask me about the money, it’s gonna be hard for me to face you in the eye. So the proof is in the pudding. Everything I was doing, the 81 days was right there riding with me — in the SUV, come on, who’s that? My 81 days. Everywhere I went, it was keeping me in check, and it’s a fight. I can tell myself all kinds of things, I can sit there and mope, or I can get out and thank those fans the way I’m supposed to, the way they deserve to be thanked. So of course I am.” (Billboard)

The rapper’s Cash Money boss, Birdman, previously took an upbeat approach to Mystikal’s jail woe.

“Sh*t happens, bruh. All I can do and all we can do as a brand is just support him. When a n*gga doing time, it’s important that families be there,” Birdman said in an interview. “That’s when you see who means something to you in life, when you down. We gon’ be there with him. We been there before. We know how that go. We do as much music as we can before he go, if he have to go, but besides that, when he come home, it’s right back at it. The same day that concrete touch, the same day we putting out music.” (Complex)

The former No Limit Records artist’s legal woes became publicized in April.

Rapper Mystikal will be going back behind bars for three months because of a probation violation. Mystikal, whose real name is Michael Tyler, was released from a Louisiana prison in 2010 after serving six years for sexual battery and extortion. He’ll be returning to jail May 14. On Monday, state District Judge Tony Marabella added the extra time as a condition of the 41-year-old Tyler’s five-year probation in the extortion case because he was arrested in February on a misdemeanor charge of domestic abuse battery. Prosecutor Sue Bernie told The Advocate Tyler violated his probation, which called for him to remain arrest- and conviction-free. Tyler’s attorney says Marabella ordered Tyler to spend another 90 days in jail but is giving him credit for the nine days he was detained after his arrest. (Washington Post)
