Sean Kingston and his mother have been arrested
Their arrest comes after a police raid of the singer’s Florida mansion.
Kingston was accused in February by a company of not fully paying for a huge TV and sound system.
He was taken into custody in Fort Irwin, southern California, on fraud and theft charges on a Florida warrant, police in the latter state said.
In an earlier social media post, Mr Kingston said his lawyers were “handling everything”.
The Florida police raid targeted a residence near Fort Lauderdale at which the singer – whose legal name is Kisean Anderson – was named as living in court documents from February.
US media reported that the woman arrested was Mr Kingston’s mother.
Confirming the raid to the BBC, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said it served arrest and search warrants at the property.
“As a result of the investigation, an adult female, Janice Turner, 2/16/1963, was taken into custody on numerous fraud and theft charges.
“This investigation is active and ongoing.”
Officers were reportedly seen taking goods away from the house afterwards. It was not immediately clear whether the arrests were linked to the company’s allegations.
