From The Daily Mail
Rapper Sean Kingston was arrested on stage in California hours after his mother suffered a similar fate in Florida all because of the purchase of a 17 foot wide TV named Colossal, a lawyer familiar with the case says.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office said Kingston, 34, was arrested without incident on a Florida warrant in the area of Fort Irwin, an Army base in the desert about 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
The bizarre case is related to Kingston's buying of a 17 x 9 foot TV in September 2023. Lawyer Dennis Card, who has filed a lawsuit against the rapper in relation to the purchase of the $150,000 entertainment set was present at the arrest of Turner.
Card claims that Kingston acquired the TV on credit with a low down payment because he promised the seller, Ver Ver Entertainment, who sell the sets under the brand name Colossal TV, that Justin Bieber would do commercials for them.
'[Justin Bieber] is 100 percent not involved in this,' Card said. 'He had the misfortune of doing some work in the past with Sean, and Sean drops his name like crazy.'
