Sean Kingston's Home Raided, Mother Arrested After Allegedly Using Justin Bieber Connection To Scam Businesses
Not a great year for musical Sean's so far, folks... ha ha ughhhh
Via NBC Miami:
According to an attorney, the raid is connected to a lawsuit he filed against Kingston for allegedly not paying for purchased items, including a 232-inch TV that Kingston was seen posing in front of in a picture.
"He likes having bling, he likes showing off, he's a showman," attorney Dennis Card said. "My client has a $150,000 television sound system that's in there, there's also about $1 million worth of watches that are in there, there's a $80,000 custom bed that was ordered. This is an organized systematic fraud."
Kingston, 34, had some major hits including his 2007 debut single "Beautiful Girls." He's previously collaborated with stars like Justin Bieber and Soulja Boy.
"He's got basically a script, he says that he works with Justin Bieber, and that he obviously puts on a big show here, this is a rental house, he doesn't own it, and he lures people using his celebrity into having them release things without him paying for it and then he simply never pays," Card said.
(How many times over the last decade or so do you think Justin Bieber's gotten wind of Kingston promising businesses stuff with his name & regretted ever collabing with him on Eenie Meanie, arguably one of the worst tunes of 2010? "Eenie, meenie, miney, mo, Catch a bad chick by her toe, If she holla, if-if-if she holla let her go, Eenie, meenie, miney, moe…" Don't think any amount of money makes that worth it.
Anyways..
During Thursday's raid, a line of luxury cars could be seen parked outside the 7-bedroom, 15,000 square foot mansion, which records showed had last sold for $2.25 million in 2021.
"He's 100 percent a scammer, he's on felony probation right now for trafficking in stolen property, he's got judgements against him for procuring more than $1 million in watches without paying for them," Card said. "This is just an ongoing pattern for Sean."
Card said the singer's mom is a part of Kingston's alleged actions.
"She’s complicit in it, she knows what’s going on," he said.
First off, dang, I wish my mom and I were close like that.
Second, no free ads, but I know what you're all asking at this point,
"Kate, will this affect the sale of Mama Kingston's Mama Kingston Jerk Sauce that JUST became available in major chain stores across the country like Wal Mart & Trader Joe's?"
Unfortunately I don't know at this time but I'm sure the update will be spicy.
