The recent arrests are linked to an ongoing lawsuit filed against Sean Kingston by Ver Ver Entertainment LLC earlier this year.
Allegations include breach of contract and fraud, stemming from Kingston's purported failure to fulfill payment obligations for a significant purchase.
Reportedly, Kingston promised promotional videos featuring himself and collaborator Justin Bieber in exchange for a high-value TV and sound system.
However, after making a partial payment of $30,000 and committing to pay an additional $47,000, Kingston allegedly failed to follow through on the agreement, leaving the company with unpaid debts and unfulfilled promises.
This is not the first time Sean Kingston has faced accusations of financial misconduct. In a separate incident in November 2023, he became embroiled in a dispute with watch company Dream Watch over two luxury timepieces—a Richard Millie Model RM 65.01 Automatic and a Patek Phillipe Calibre.
The company alleges that Kingston initiated a purchase agreement in 2022 but failed to provide payment upon delivery of the watches.
Despite promises of a wire transfer, Kingston reportedly lacked the funds to fulfill his commitment, prompting legal action from Dream Watch seeking damages exceeding one million dollars.
