Singer Sean Kingston claims he's so broke he has just $500 to his name and now living with his mum

Singer Sean Kingston is claiming he is dead broke despite selling millions of records at some point in his career. Below is a report from Bossip;

The singer filed court docs stating he has less than $500 in his bank accounts and owns no property or cars. In 2015, the lawyer James J. Gangitano sued Kingston, accusing him of refusing to pay up $12,500 worth of legal work he did in defending him.

After filing suit, the lawyer reached a deal with Kingston in early 2016. He agreed to pay $20,000 in installments between April 2016 and January 2017. However, Gangitano headed back to court months later accusing him of breaching the deal by failing to make the payments.
Under the agreement, if Kingston missed a payment, the entire amount of $14,500 would be due immediately. They demanded that the judge order Kingston to pay up due to his breach.
Earlier this year, the judge came back with his decision and sided with the lawyers, awarding them $14,500 in damages with interest until paid off. Kingston was also ordered to fill out a financial sheet which listed his assets and property in the hopes the
firm can use the info to collect on the debt.
In April, the attorney filed docs demanding Kingston be found in contempt for blowing off the judge’s order. He accused Kingston of refusing to comply with the court by filing out a financial information document. The judge signed off on the motion and ordered Kingston in contempt of court and ordered him to hand over his financial info ASAP.
Then recently, Kingston finally filled out his financial information form for the case. His form explained he currently owns no property or automobile. He lives with his mother Janice Turner in Los Angeles. He did not answer questions regarding his rate of pay but listed himself as an entertainer.
Kingston attached his last three bank account statements, which reveal his dire financial situation. For his February/March bank statement, his Bank of America account began the month with $18.96 but ended the month with $6.96. His Chase bank accounts started with $370.68 and $207.63 but ended with (negative) $19.65 and $7.22.

  7. Most of these Nigerian singers too are dead broke but keep deceiving themselves with their surreal lifestyle. A friend of mine recorded a video of his single and I was like shey no be ***** wey I give okada money dey pop champagne inside bently for TV so. But I wasn't surprised, that's how they do. But I don't know if it's okay.

  10. The funny thing is that He may not be completely broke as we really think...Remember 50 cent did something similar filing for bankruptcy during his lawsuit as well. It worked for 50 cent and it may in turn work for Sean Kingston also.
