Singer Sean Kingston has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for his role in a $1 million fraud scheme involving luxury goods.

The 35-year-old artist, best known for his 2007 hit Beautiful Girls, was convicted earlier this year alongside his mother, Janice Eleanor Turner. While Kingston received 3.5 years, Turner was sentenced to five years in prison last month.

According to prosecutors, Kingston used his celebrity status to obtain high-end items such as:

A bulletproof Cadillac Escalade

Expensive luxury watches

A massive 19-foot LED television

Instead of paying, court documents revealed that Kingston presented fake wire transfer receipts and lured sellers with promises of social media promotion.

During the sentencing in a South Florida courtroom, Judge David Leibowitz ordered Kingston’s immediate remand, dismissing his lawyer’s request for a delayed surrender due to health concerns.

Prosecutors described the singer as a “thief and conman”, accusing him of exploiting his fame for years. His lawyer argued that Kingston lacked financial discipline but noted he had started repaying victims.

Kingston and his mother were dramatically arrested in May 2024 after a SWAT raid at his rented mansion in Fort Lauderdale.

Born in Florida and raised in Jamaica, Kingston rose to fame at just 17, but his recent troubles mark a sharp fall from grace for the star.
