Rapper Sean Kingston was briefly held in federal prison after being unable to immediately post a $100,000 bond, according to court records. The bond requirement stems from his recent guilty plea in a federal wire fraud case, in which his mother was also implicated.
Kingston and his mother face charges related to defrauding businesses of over $1 million. The alleged scheme involved using false pretenses to acquire high-value items, including jewelry and cars, without intending to pay for them.
After several days in custody, Kingston was able to secure the $100,000 bond and was released. He is now awaiting further court appearances as the case progresses. Details about the specific terms of his release, beyond the bond requirement, have not been publicly disclosed.
