Rapper Sean Kingston has been sentenced to three and a half years in federal prison in a million-dollar fraud scheme.
The "Beautiful Girls" singer was convicted earlier this year, along with his mother, in a wire fraud scheme where they stole luxury items including watches, a 232-inch LED TV, a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade and furniture, exceeding US$1 million.
Prosecutors said Kingston - whose legal name is Kisean Anderson - and his mother used the rapper's celebrity status to get victims to give them products and when payment was due, would send them fake wire receipts.
The singer apologised to the court before being sentenced and said he'd learned from his actions.
His mother, Janice Turner, was sentenced in July to five years in prison.
