Sean Kingston: From Billboard #1 to the Courtroom

Back in 2007, a then-17-year-old Sean Kingston took the world by storm with Beautiful Girls, reaching #1 on Billboard.
Over the years, he collaborated with stars like Justin Bieber and Chris Brown, building a global fan base.
But between 2023 and 2024, prosecutors say Kingston and his mother carried out a luxury goods scheme worth over $1 million — acquiring items like a bullet-resistant Cadillac Escalade, a 19-foot LED screen, and high-end watches, without making the promised payments.
