A representative with Jive Records confirmed that Mystikal, born Michael L. Tyler, is still incarcerated and serving a six-year sentence at Louisiana state prison, Elayne Hunt Correctional Facility.

Mystikal is serving the time after pleading guilty to extortion and sexual battery charges.

The charges stem from an incident in which the 36-year-old rapper forced a woman to perform oral sex on camera, after he caught her writing $80,000 in bogus checks.

Yesterday (Jan. 25), a representative with the FBP confirmed with AllHipHop.com that Mystikal was "released," because he served one year of a different sentence concurrently, after he was convicted in Jan. of 2006 for two misdemeanor tax violations.

He was sentenced to the additional year for failing to report almost $2 million in earnings from 1998-1999.
