Sean Kingston faces fraud, theft charges

Kingston was in Fort Irwin, California, where he was scheduled to perform at the United States Army’s Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Programs.

"This evening, police in Fort Irwin, Calif., arrested Kisean Anderson, aka Sean Kingston without incident on a Broward Sheriff's Office arrest warrant for numerous fraud and theft charges," the Broward Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

"According to investigators, he will be booked into jail in San Bernardino, Calif.," it detailed.

The ‘Take You There’ singer’s mother Janice Turner, was also booked and arrested from their rented apartment on numerous fraud and theft charges.

"People love negative energy! I am good and so is my mother!" Kingston wrote earlier on his Instagram Story.

"My lawyers are handling everything as we speak," he added.

As per the lawsuit Kingston presented "numerous false representations" to the company Ver Ver Entertainment and claimed that he had a "current and ongoing working relationship" with singer Justin Bieber.

The complaint further claims that the rapper promised to produce promotional videos with Bieber for the company to reduce his payments and credit toward the price of items he purchased from them.

On a little research, the group found that the artist had “no ongoing working” relationship with the ‘Peaches’ singer.

"I filed a lawsuit against Sean Kingston. A detective in Broward County read my lawsuit and contacted me, and so we went down and gave, with my client, a recorded statement and an affidavit," attorney Dennis Card told People.

He added that they were "waiting on this raid for more than two months now."
