Sean Kingston, the popular singer of hits like “Beautiful Girls” and “Take You There,” was at the center of a law enforcement raid at his South Florida home in Dania Beach. The investigation, which began earlier Thursday, ultimately led to the arrest of Kingston’s 61-year-old mother, Janice Turner, on numerous fraud and theft charges. While the investigation is active and ongoing, Kingston, whose real name is Kisean Paul Anderson, was not present at the time of the raid as he had just finished a show in Los Angeles and was on his way to Las Vegas.
Apart from the current legal issues, Kingston is already embroiled in a legal battle with Ver Ver Entertainment over unpaid payments for a 232-inch television at his Broward County home. The company’s attorney, Dennis Card, has accused Kingston of using a sales pitch to defraud people by inducing them into giving him expensive items. Card claimed that there is a $150,000 television sound system, $1 million worth of watches, and an $80,000 custom bed in Kingston’s home that belong to the company. This situation has been described as an organized, systematic fraud by the lawyer.
This is not the first time Kingston has faced legal issues related to his extravagant lifestyle. In 2016, he was sued for $300,000 for purchasing jewelry that he could not afford. Furthermore, court records revealed that a Florida jeweler also sued him for failing to pay for $48,000 worth of goods. In a separate case, Kingston was ordered to pay over $356,000 to a New York-based jeweler for bouncing checks for watch purchases.
Sean Kingston’s legal troubles seem to stem from his lavish lifestyle and alleged fraudulent practices. The recent raid at his Florida home, resulting in the arrest of his mother on fraud and theft charges, is just one of the many legal battles he is facing. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen how Kingston will navigate through these challenges and what consequences he may face as a result of his actions.
