fraud charges Archives - New Hip Hop News

Sean Kingston is officially out on a $100,000 bond following his arrest in California and extradition to Florida on fraud charges following a raid on his home in the latter state. Moreover, people expressed shock when news of this case broke, and since then, folks anticipated what would come of this process, Now that he’s a free man awaiting trial for these accusations, he took to social media, specifically Instagram, on Wednesday (June 5) to speak on this development. However, rather than address the allegations, Kingston thanked many from his inner circle for their support and resilience during this time.

“It’s great to be home!” Sean Kingston expressed on the social media platform, listing out all the groups and people that held him down during this turbulence. “A special thanks to God, my family, my friends and my legal team… Robert Rosenblatt, James Stark, Mark Geragos, Zeljka Bozanic, Pierre Pollas. And I cannot forget about my amazing fans, thank you for all your love and support! I love you guys!” His mother, Janice Turner, also caught some charges, so we’ll see what this dynamic looks like in the near future.

Elsewhere, Sean Kingston was actually able to sustain some career hype despite these roadblocks, and did so with another legally compromised artist. He and NBA YoungBoy released their collab “Why Oh Why,” and it’s curious that this is the art out of this career that we got amid all this trouble. The situation is still relatively unclear, as there are only allegations when it comes to how Kingston and Turner supposedly netted over $1 million through scam practices. But with new music to boot, it feels like this is a cultural reset moment in which he seeks to reclaim the narrative and stand tall.

Meanwhile, the ten charges that Sean Kingston faces also involve bank fraud, scamming a jeweler, and more alleged fraud-related crimes. Whether or not a court of law upholds this idea or rejects it is a mystery, one that might see resolution by the end of 2024. But we also know that these legal processes can be long and tricky, so who knows what happens? At least he’s back communicating with his fans and keeping his head held high until we presumably learn the truth.

Some of the biggest allegations in this case involve almost $500K worth of jewelry. Furthermore, there is a car dealership alleging that Kingston and his mother stole a Cadillac Escalade worth $160K. It is a massive case, and it will be a difficult path forward for the artist. At the time of writing this, Kingston remains in California, although a move back to Florida is imminent.
