Sean Kingston’s Florida property was at the center of a police and SWAT team raid, resulting in the arrest of his mother, Janice Turner, on fraud and theft charges. The singer, 34, was not present during the raid, but took to social media to address the situation, reassuring fans that he and his mother are okay and that his lawyers are handling the matter.
The raid is reportedly connected to a lawsuit alleging that Sean failed to pay for purchased items, including a $150,000 television sound system, $1 million worth of watches, and an $80,000 custom bed. Attorney Dennis Card claimed that Sean has a history of not paying for items he acquires through his celebrity status.
Despite the legal troubles, Sean Kingston is known for his chart-topping hits like “Beautiful Girls” and “Fire Burning,” as well as collaborations with artists like Justin Bieber and Soulja Boy. While the raid took place on the East Coast, Sean was on the West Coast preparing for a show in Las Vegas over Memorial Day weekend.
In the midst of the legal drama, Sean has been supporting his mother’s new venture, Mama Kingston’s Everything Everyday Sauce, showing a different side to the singer’s personal life. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
