Sean Kingston was sentenced to three and a half years in federal prison Friday.
Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Paul Anderson, was sentenced on Aug. 15 for a $1 million fraud scheme, according to Local 5 Miami and CBS News. Last month, his mom Janice Turner was sentenced to five years in prison while Kingston's sentencing was rescheduled to this week.
The sentencing comes after a jury found the "Beautiful Girls" singer, 35, and the 62-year-old Turner guilty of all charges against them following a five-day trial in March, according to court documents reviewed by USA TODAY. The mother-son duo faced one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud.
In addition to "Beautiful," Kingston is known for hit songs like "Fire Burning," "Take You There" and his 2010 collaboration "Eenie Meenie" with music superstar Justin Bieber.
In an Aug. 15 statement, Kingston's lawyer told USA TODAY that "we respect the Court's decision and the judicial process," adding that "we are content that the Court did not go with the government's request of five years and sentenced Sean below the sentencing guidelines instead."
