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.
