A SWAT team has raided rapper Sean Kingston’s rented South Florida mansion and arrested his mother on fraud and theft charges

Workers attempt to gain access to a Bentley SUV in the driveway at Sean Kingston's Southwest Ranches, Fla., home on Thursday, May 23, 2024. A SWAT team raided rapper Kingston's rented mansion on Thursday, and arrested his mother on fraud and theft charges that an attorney says stems partly from the installation of a massive TV at the home. Broward County detectives arrested Janice Turner, 61, at the home.

It could not be determined if Turner has an attorney who could comment. Federal court records show she pleaded guilty in 2006 to bank fraud for stealing over $160,000 and served 16 months in prison. The Jamaican-American rapper is best known for his 2007 No. 1 single “Beautiful Girls,” his collaboration withon “Eenie Meenie” and "Take You There." In 2011, he suffered near-fatal injuries in a jet ski accident. Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Anderson, hasn’t had a major label release in more than a decade.

In the lawsuit, Ver Ver Entertainment says Kingston contacted the company in September about purchasing the television, sold under the brand name Colossal TV, and having it installed at his home. The system costs $150,000.
