Mystikal, a former No Limit rapper, has asked for a gag order to be implemented in his ongoing rape case in order to safeguard his privacy, according to court documents and numerous media reports.
Mystikal’s attorney, Tiffany Myles Crosby, requested a gag order yesterday in his rape and false imprisonment case in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, due to an “inordinate amount of publicity,” according to court documents. The gag order would forbid attorneys from either party from publicly discussing the case in the media in any way.
