Sean Kingston's mother sentenced in $1 million South Florida fraud case involving luxury goods and false payments
Janice Turner, the mother of singer Sean Kingston, has been sentenced to five years in federal prison and three years of supervised release for her role in a $1 million wire fraud case. According to CBS Miami, Turner, 63, and Kingston, 35 — whose legal name is Kisean Anderson — were convicted on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud. Kingston is set to be sentenced on August 28. During sentencing, Turner expressed remorse, telling the court, 'I'm sorry. My intention was to keep my son afloat in this difficult industry… I am begging for mercy for me and my son.' Her attorney noted that most of the defrauded businesses have been compensated. The case centered on a 2024 scheme in which Turner and Kingston misrepresented payments to acquire luxury items — including jewelry and vehicles — without actually transferring funds. Investigators confirmed the wire transfers were never completed, yet the duo retained over $1 million in goods and assets. Kingston was arrested on May 23, 2024, at Fort Irwin, a U.S. Army base in California, while Turner was taken into custody during a raid at a South Florida mansion. The fraud reportedly occurred between October 2023 and March 2024, impacting several entities including Bank of America, First Republic Bank, and various luxury retailers. At the time of his arrest, Kingston was already serving probation for trafficking stolen property. Turner, meanwhile, had a prior conviction for bank fraud in 2006, for which she served nearly 18 months in prison. Kingston gained fame in 2007 with his chart-topping single "Beautiful Girls" and later collaborated with Justin Bieber on 'Eenie Meenie.'

Jey Uso submits Gunther, becomes World Champion at WWE WrestleMania
Jey Uso defeated Gunther to capture the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE WrestleMania 41, winning the title via submission. In one of the most physical bouts of WrestleMania 41, Jey Uso overcame Gunther to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. The match, featured on night one of the two-night event, marked a career milestone for Uso, who forced the dominant Gunther to tap out. The match began with both men locking up before Uso delivered a pair of shoulder tackles. Gunther regained control with a thunderous chop that sent Uso crashing to the outside. After bringing him back into the ring, Gunther unleashed a flurry of attacks, including a corner whip, chops, and a shotgun dropkick following a suplex from the ropes. Uso battled back with a spear and a Samoan Drop, then landed a hurricanrana and a spear before climbing to the top rope and delivering a Uso Splash. A near-fall followed as Gunther kicked out. The Austrian powerhouse then attempted to walk away with the championship belt, only to strike Uso with it on the outside. Gunther hit a Frog Splash and delivered repeated Hammer and Anvil elbows before applying a Sleeper hold, but Uso managed to escape. The match escalated as the two exchanged brutal chops. Uso delivered a German suplex before hitting another spear, followed by three consecutive Uso Splashes. He then applied a sleeper hold of his own, forcing Gunther to submit. After the bell, Jimmy Uso joined his brother in the ring to celebrate the emotional title win in front of a roaring WrestleMania crowd. Uso's victory ends Gunther's reign and marks the beginning of a new chapter in the World Heavyweight Championship picture.
