Kingston, 35, and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty in May of defrauding luxury businesses of more than $1 million.

Sean Kingston has been sentenced to three and a half years in federal prison for his role in a $1 million fraud scheme. On Friday, before US Judge David Leibowitz handed down Kingston’s sentence in a South Florida courtroom, the rapper, 35, apologized and claimed he had learned from his actions, according to the Associated Press.

Last March, Kingston was convicted by a federal jury of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud.
