Sean Kingston sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for $1m wire fraud scheme
Sean Kingston has been sentenced to 3.5 years in prison by a Florida court for a $1m wire fraud scheme, according to NBC South Florida. The 35-year-old singer, born Kisean Anderson, was found guilty in a South Florida court in March alongside his mother, Janice Turner, for accruing about $1m worth of luxury items through falsified payments that never cleared. Turner was sentenced in July to five years in prison with three years probation. The two were initially arrested in May 2024 on theft charges after a Swat raid on Kingston's South Florida mansion. Investigators told the court that Kingston used social media from April 2023 to March 2024 to arrange purchases of luxury items, and invited sellers to his Florida homes with the promise to feature them and their merchandise on his accounts. When it came time to pay for the items, such as a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade or an Audemars Piguet watch, Kingston or his mother texted the sellers fake wire receipts. During her trial, Turner admitted to falsifying wires for her son, which she claimed was an effort to protect him from scammers by delaying payments for luxury items. Kingston refused to testify. As evidence, the prosecution presented texts from Kingston to his mother that read: 'I told you to make [a] fake receipt' followed by 'so it [looks] like the transfer will be there in a couple [of] days.' Before the judge delivered his sentence, Kingston apologized and said he had learned from his actions, according to the Associated Press. His lawyer had previously asked the judge for home confinement, due to the non-violent nature of the crime and the fact that Kingston had paid back most of the people he defrauded. Born in Miami and raised in his parents' native Kingston, Jamaica, the singer remains most famous for his 2007 single Beautiful Girls, which topped the Billboard charts. He has released four albums and collaborated with the likes of Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown. In 2011, he scored a modest hit with Justin Bieber on the track Eenie Meenie. According to federal court records, Turner pleaded guilty in 2006 to bank fraud for stealing over $160,000, and served nearly 18 months in prison. Both Turner and Kingston have been sued multiple times for failure to pay for luxury items, most recently by a Florida entertainment systems company in February 2024.

So who IS the A-List couple Sophie Turner split up? Fans scramble to name Hollywood's top suspects
Sophie Turner just dropped a bombshell, and fans are scrambling to figure out which Hollywood power couple she split. The drama erupted when the Game of Thrones star, 29, laid it all out during a Thursday appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, revealing how a 2014 San Diego Comic-Con afterparty 'quickly went south' over a simple gesture gone awry. Sophie explained that she had innocently waved at a famous actor who was engaged to a famous actress — keeping both identities under wraps — only for the bride-to-be to later scold her at the soiree. 'Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave],' Sophie told Meyers, adding with a laugh, 'I didn't realize I held this power.' Now, sleuths online are racing to compile their lists of fragile Hollywood romances that might have ended around the same time as Sophie's fateful greeting. Some fans threw out wild guesses, joking about Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom — though the timing didn't quite match. Longtime Kate Hudson fans know that was the year she ended things with Matt Bellamy — though he's a musician, not an actor. A few jokers even teased that Sophie was behind the recent Barack and Michelle Obama divorce rumors, which the couple has of course denied. Still, most speculation focused on Hollywood's notoriously on-again, off-again couples, like Emma Roberts and Evan Peters, as well as the stormy romance of Robin Wright and Ben Foster. 'Some ppl said Evan Peters and Emma Roberts and I see that vividlyyyy,' one fan wrote, as another posted, 'Robin Wright and Ben Foster?' Over their seven-year relationship, Roberts and Peters experienced plenty of ups and downs. The duo first met on the set of Adult World in 2012, though sparks didn't exactly fly right away. It wasn't until a few months after filming wrapped that they officially became a couple — but even then, their romance was far from smooth sailing. Over the years, they rode a rollercoaster of highs and lows, including costarring roles, multiple breakups, an engagement, and an alleged domestic violence incident. Now, sleuths online are racing to compile their lists of fragile Hollywood romances that might have ended around the same time as Sophie's fateful greeting In 2013, following a dispute in Montreal, Roberts was reportedly arrested after authorities were called. 'It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding,' a rep explained at the time. 'Ms. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it.' Roberts was released without charge. Fast forward to 2014, the same year Turner famously attended that Comic-Con afterparty, Roberts and Peters got engaged — only to call off the engagement months later, ending their three-year relationship. Yet even after their breakup, the pair were spotted out together two months later, on Aug. 23, 2015, and reunited briefly in 2016 before splitting again. After finally calling it quits for good in March 2019, Roberts reflected on the turbulent relationship. 'I'm realizing that life is highs and lows. I'm trying to ride them out and live somewhere in the middle,' she told Cosmopolitan at the time. 'When you're low, you think it's never going to end. When you're high, you're so scared of it ending.' As for Wright and Foster, they met on the set of the 2011 film Rampart, and romance rumors sparked in early 2012 when they were spotted getting cozy in Australia. In 2014, 2014, the same year Turner famously attended that Comic-Con afterparty, Roberts and Peters got engaged — only to call off the engagement months later; (seen in 2013) By February 2014, the House of Cards actress opened up about her 'devastating' divorce from Sean Penn and credited her new relationship for helping her heal, calling Foster's proposal a pleasant surprise. That same year — coincidentally the year of Turner's Comic-Con appearance — they called off the engagement, only to reconcile a few months later. Then in 2020, they quietly ended another engagement, one they had kept under wraps. While guesses flooded social media, some even speculated that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's split had Sophie's fingerprints on it. But fans quickly shut that down, pointing out the couple had already called off their first engagement back in 2013. The wild theories kept coming as Turner maintained the mystery about the power couple during her Late Night with Seth Meyers appearance. As she and Meyers reminisced about first meeting over a decade ago at San Diego Comic-Con, Turner revealed the night 'quickly went south' at the event's afterparty. 'We were going to have a great night… and I can't name names 'cause I'll get in trouble… but I had brought my best friend from school days and she saw an actor she absolutely loved and asked if I could just say hi…' Turner began. In 2014— coincidentally the year of Turner's Comic-Con appearance — they called off the engagement, only to reconcile a few months later; (seen in 2015) She admitted she'd never met the unidentified actor before, so she gave him a weak little wave from across the crowd. 'And that was it,' she said… but it wasn't. 'And then later on I see this girl looking at me and she's a famous actress and I was like, '" have to go tell her how much she means to me,"' Sophie recalled. 'So I dance on over and she goes, "Can you stop f****** flirting with my fiancee?" And I was like, "Who's your fiancee?" And she points to the guy that I waved at, and I still have no idea who this man is.' Looks like Turner will have to drop a few more hints before fans get a definitive answer — unless one of those former power couples decides to raise their hand and set the record straight.

Universal deny that head Lucian Grainge was personally involved in Kendrick Lamar attack on Drake
Universal Music Group has denied new allegations made by Drake's lawyers that its British chair and chief executive Lucian Grainge had a 'role in and knowledge of the scheme to defame and harass' the Canadian rapper by peer Kendrick Lamar, and that as such the label should 'collect, review and produce' communications by Grainge. Drake is suing UMG – his label Republic's parent company – over its release of Lamar's 2024 diss track Not Like Us, which contains the line: 'Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young … Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles.' The artwork for the global hit single features an image of Drake's home dotted with icons used to identify the homes of registered sex offenders. Drake has denied the allegations, and in January filed a lawsuit against UMG – not Lamar himself – alleging that it 'approved, published and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track' that was 'intended to convey the specific, unmistakable and false factual allegation that Drake is a criminal paedophile, and to suggest that the public should resort to vigilante justice in response'. The label initially responded that the suit was 'utterly without merit'. Drake's latest motion argued that Drake believes 'Grainge was personally involved in decisions made regarding the marketing and promotion of [Not Like Us] around its release'. Lawyers for UMG have now called for Drake's motion to be denied, labelling it a 'transparent attempt to use discovery to harass UMG and force it to waste time and resources out of spite' and that his 'attempts to show Sir Lucian's relevance are so strained that they defy credulity'. In legal documents, Grainge declared that he never heard the song prior to its release. Lawyer Rollin A Ransom continued: 'The premise of Drake's motion – that he could not have lost a rap battle unless it was the product of some imagined secret conspiracy going to the top of UMG's corporate structure – is absurd. Sir Lucian is the CEO of a multinational enterprise; his days are spent determining and implementing global strategy, not vetting individual tracks or album covers or driving the release and promotional plans for any one recording.' Drake previously agreed not to seek documents from Grainge, the letter states. 'And even if Sir Lucian had any responsive documents, they would surely be captured by discovery from UMG's other document custodians, who were actually responsible for releasing and promoting Not Like Us. Drake does not come close to meeting his burden of showing that Sir Lucian must be a custodian.' The letter concludes: 'Drake argues that Sir Lucian must be a custodian for no other reason than because Drake asked for him. That is entirely inconsistent with the law and is particularly inappropriate given that Drake's request is clearly based on a desire to harass UMG, rather than for a legitimate reason.' Drake has not responded to the new filing. The Guardian has contacted his representatives. UMG is seeking to have the case dismissed entirely, claiming in March that Drake 'lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated … diss tracks are a popular and celebrated art form centred around outrageous insults, and they would be severely chilled if Drake's suit were permitted to proceed'.
