Sean Kingston's Florida Home Raided Reportedly Over Allegations Of Theft & Scamming, Mother Arrested

Singer/rapper Sean Kingston recently got a surprise visit from a SWAT team.

The musician's Florida home was raided by authorities earlier today (Thursday, May 22nd) after he was sued for allegedly scamming funds from a business.

Broward County Sheriff's confirmed that they raided Sean Kingston's 7-bedroom estate and arrested his 61-year-old mother Janice Turner in the process on several fraud and theft charges. The raid is reportedly linked to a lawsuit the "Beautiful Girls" artist was named in back in February, accusing him of failing to pay for a $150,000 entertainment system.

The plaintiff, a company called Ver Ver Entertainment, wrote in the complaint that Sean Kingston, 34, purchased the equipment in September of last year and had it installed after making only a partial $30,000 payment. Despite allegedly making multiple attempts to secure the rest of the money, Ver Ver said they were met with continued excuses from Kingston.



They ultimately concluded that the Jamaican-American artist uses his celebrity status to get businesses to give him things up front that he never intends to pay for. If you recall, Kingston faced similar accusations in 2020 after a jeweler alleged that the hitmaker scammed him out of thousands worth of merchandise.



Accusing Kingston of intentionally scamming yet again, Ver Ver's lawyer Dennis Card reportedly stated:

"He basically has a sales pitch that he goes through to defraud people...He induces them into giving him really expensive things."

Alleging that Kingston also owes money for other items he's in possession of, including his 2.5 million dollar mansion, Card added:

"He likes having bling...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 systemic fraud...This is a rental house, he doesn't own it."

Doubling down, the legal professional went on to further allege that Kingston has a "script" he uses to trap unsuspecting businesses, adding:

"He lures people using his celebrity into having them release things without him paying for it, and then he simply never pays...He's 100 percent a scammer, he's on felony probation right now for trafficking in stolen property."

It's unclear whether or not Kingston was present during the raid or if he's been formally charged with anything. He has not spoken on the matter publicly at this time.
