Police in South Florida raided the home of Singer, Sean Kingston and arrested his mother on Thursday morning, May 23 in connection to allegations that he swindled a tech company out of thousands of dollars in a deal over a massive television and speaker system.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office and Davie Police SWAT served arrest and search warrants at the luxurious Southwest Ranches property as part of an investigation that started in nearby Dania Beach, the Broward County Sheriff told The Post.
Authorities raided the luxurious property, and it was not clear if Kingston whose real name is Kisean Paul Anderson was home at the time of the raid.
Kingston’s 61-year-old mother, Janice Turner, was arrested at the scene on “numerous” fraud and theft charges.
Turner who goes by “Mama Kingston” on Instagram was seen being led away in handcuffs in a photo obtained by WSVN.
The allegations against Kingston come from a lawsuit filed against Kingston in February by Ver Ver Entertainment LLC, which is seeking damages from the “Beautiful Girls” singer for breach of contract and fraud.
Kingston reached out to Ver Ver via Instagram in September 2023 and bought a 232-inch Colossal TV, as well as a sound system, the company alleged in the documents viewed by The Post.
The price of the television starts at over $91,000, according to the retailer’s website – with the speaker system and assembly tacking on another $20,000 bill.
To lower the price of the $111,000 purchase, Kingston supposedly promised to make promotional videos about the products with his friend, Justin Beiber, the suit said.
Kingston, 34, and Beiber, 30, famously collaborated on the song “Eenie Meenie,” which appeared on Beiber’s 2010 debut album.
