Police in Florida have carried out a raid on a mansion believed to be owned by singer Sean Kingston. The mansion, located near Fort Lauderdale, was named as the residence of Kingston in court documents from February.

The raid was prompted by allegations that Kingston had not fully paid for a large TV and sound system. A woman believed to be Kingston’s mother was arrested at the property on Thursday morning on charges of fraud and theft.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office confirmed that arrest and search warrants were served at the property. Janice Turner, Kingston’s mother, was taken into custody on fraud and theft charges.

It is unclear whether Kingston was present at the property during the arrest or if the arrest is related to the company’s allegations. Kingston responded to the news on his Instagram account, stating that he and his mother are doing well and that his lawyers are handling the situation.

The company, Ver Ver Entertainment, claims that Kingston contacted them in September 2023 to purchase a large TV and sound system on credit. The company alleges that Kingston made false representations, including promises to create promotional videos with Justin Bieber, in order to secure the products with a minimal down payment.

After the installation, Kingston allegedly failed to make the remaining payments, leading the company to sue him for breach of contract and fraud. A lawyer representing Ver Ver Entertainment stated that the company was hoping to retrieve their property from the mansion following the police raid.
