“I Hope You Get the Help You Need”: Mystikal’s Son Speaks Out After Sentencing

- In a TMZ interview posted Monday, Million Tyler, the rapper's son, expressed sympathy for both the victim and his father, admitting that "nobody wins" in situations like this.
- Million, who witnessed the "extremely emotional" courtroom proceedings, noted the sentencing has "been a lot to deal with" for his family, adding, "I hope you get the help you need."
- While Million plans to eventually visit his father in prison, he stated he "couldn't say when," and there has been no word from Mystikal's legal team regarding a potential appeal.
