According to Kingston, "people love negative energy."

This morning, Sean Kingston's Florida mansion was raided by authorities, and his mother was taken into custody on various charges. Reportedly, the raid was conducted in connection to a lawsuit filed against the performer earlier this year. The suit, filed by Ver Ver Entertainment LLC in February, accuses him of failing to pay for a $150K entertainment system.

Now, Kingston has provided fans with an eagerly anticipated response to the raids. In an Instagram Story, he explained that both he and his mother are doing well and that their legal difficulties are being worked out by their lawyers. In his update, Kingston also threw a bit of shade at those discussing the case. "People love negative energy!" he began. "I am good and so is my mother!.. My lawyers are handling everything as we speak [prayer emoji]."

Sean Kingston Says He & His Mother Are "Good"

It remains unclear whether or not anything came of the raid, which Kingston wasn't home for according to TMZ. A lawyer representing Ver Ver Entertainment LLC, Dennis Card, allegedly was. He alleges that Kingston reached out to the company to purchase the entertainment system last year. In order to reduce its $150K price tag, he allegedly agreed to make a promotional video for the product alongside Justin Bieber but failed to follow through with his end of the deal.

"He likes having bling, he likes showing off, he's a showman," Card claimed. "My client has a $150,000 television sound system that's in there, there's also about $1 million worth of watches that are in there, there's a $80,000 custom bed that was ordered. This is an organized systematic fraud."
