Kingston, 35, and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty in May of defrauding luxury businesses of more then $1 million.
Rapper Sean Kingston was sentenced to three and a half years in federal prison on Friday after a jury found him and his mother guilty of wire fraud earlier this year.
Kingston, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty of organized fraud and grand theft charges in May for defrauding businesses of more than $1 million.
Turner, 63, was sentenced to five years in federal prison last month and three years of probation.
The rapper, who is best known for his 2007 hit song “Beautiful Girls,” was arrested in Fort Irwin, California, in May following a SWAT raid on his home in Southwest Ranches, Florida, in Broward County.
Kingston and his mother were then indicted in 2024. Prosecutors accused Kingston and his mother of using his celebrity name to trick luxury businesses into delivering items before payment.
Payment was then made using fraudulent or worthless wire transfers, according to the indictment. Turner and Kingston would then keep the stolen items.

Arrest warrants said the mother and son defrauded a jewelry business, a luxury bed company, a used luxury and exotic car dealership, and a luxury microLED TV company.
The scheme transpired for several years until March 2024, according to the indictment. Kingston and Turner pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Following their convictions, Kingston was ordered to be confined to house arrest with electronic monitoring, while his mother was remanded in federal custody.
With the hit song “Beautiful Girls” reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Kingston became an overnight star at 17 years old. He has released three studio albums since the song came out in 2007.
