An arrest warrant has been put out for American-Jamaican rapper, Sean Kingston, over grand theft in connection with some unpaid jewellery.
According to TMZ, the ‘Beautiful Girls’ crooner has been charged with grand theft for having the jewellery delivered to him and refusing to pay.
However, law enforcement said they do not intend to actively search for the 30-year-old singer in connection with the warrant, but it would only come up if Kingston was pulled over or detained.
The alleged crime could earn the singer-songwriter up to 3 years behind bars if convicted.
The legal complaint, according to the publication, stated that bail in the case was $45,000.
In spite of the warrant, Kingston, however, seems to be in good spirits as he posted a series of videos to his Instagram Stories between Thursday and Friday from a luxury home, where he had high-end vehicles such as a Lambo SUV and Maybach.
In the videos, Kingston sang excerpts from his hit songs “Beautiful Girls”, “Take You There” and “Fire Burning”.
The rapper is not new to such a situation as he has in time past been linked to legal entanglements associated with high-end jewellery.
In February 2018, a judge ordered him to pay $301,500 to Aqua Master, a jewellery store based in New York City, after never paying for nine pieces of jewellery, and previously giving him two checks that couldn’t be cashed due to “insufficient funds”.
A few months later, AP The Jeweler went public about Kingston dodging him over past due payments, Complex reports.
The brand in a since-deleted Instagram post threatened;
I’m not calling cops or taking you to court. I’m going to the streets somewhere where you scared to be.
Kingston filed a police report in 2015 after he was briefly kidnapped during a dispute with representatives for Avianne Jewelers because he refused to pay the entire amount for a watch.
He was also sued by Avi Da Jewelers for $356,000 worth of unpaid purchases.
