Sean Kingston was arrested on fraud charges in California on Thursday (May 23). A spokesperson for the Broward Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Billboard on Friday morning (May 24) that the “Beautiful Girls” rapper — born Kisean Anderson — was apprehended without incident on a warrant from Florida in Fort Irwin, California, about 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

Kingston’s arrest came just hours after his South Florida mansion rental was raided by Davie Police SWAT team members on Thursday. Officers took his mother, Janice Turner, into custody and charged the 61-year-old with fraud and theft. The raid allegedly resulted from a lawsuit filed by attorney Dennis Card, who claimed Kingston demands items and doesn’t end up paying for them, according to NBC Miami.

“He’s got basically a script, he says that he works with Justin Bieber and that he obviously puts on a big show here, this is a rental house, he doesn’t own it, and he lures people using his celebrity into having them release things without him paying for it and then he simply never pays,” Card claimed of the 34-year-old singer.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office released a statement detailing the arrest: “This evening, police in Fort Irwin, CA, arrested Kisean Anderson, aka Sean Kingston (2/3/1990) without incident on a Broward Sheriff’s Office arrest warrant for numerous fraud and theft charges.” Investigators noted that Kingston was slated to be booked into jail in San Bernardino, California.

Reporters at the Southwest Ranches residence in Florida observed officers loading various items from Kingston’s rental home following his mother’s arrest. In a since-deleted post on his Instagram Story on Thursday, Kingston attempted to calm fans’ concerns. “People love negative energy! I am good, and so is my mother! … My lawyers are handling everything as we speak,” he wrote.

Sean Kingston first stormed onto the music scene as a teenager when his “Beautiful Girls” single topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007. His most recent project, Road to Deliverance, arrived in 2022.
