Singer Sean Kingston’s fall from grace went full circle as he was sentenced to three and half years over fraud amounting to One Millions United States Dollars.
Sean and his mother were charged with engaging in a wire fraud scheme between April 2023 and March 2024; Kingston’s mother was previously sentenced to five years in prison.
The “Beautiful Girls” singer was convicted earlier this year, along with his mother, in a wire fraud scheme where they stole luxury items including watches, a 232-inch LED TV, a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade and furniture, exceeding $1m (£738,000).
Prosecutors said Kingston – whose legal name is Kisean Anderson – and his mother used the rapper’s celebrity status to get victims to give them products and when payment was due would send them fake wire receipts.
The singer apologised to the court before being sentenced and said he’d learned from his actions, according to US media.
