"Sean Kingston made millions in legal money for 18 years and couldn’t come up with $100k bail after being found guilty of fraud. Now he has to sit in jail until sentencing. A very sad ending to a promising musical career.
"This is also a powerful message about money management. Never think that the money you’re making today is going to keep coming forever. Put money aside and live below your means. At some point, you will need to have money to fix a major problem."

Netizens weigh in on Sean Kingston's arrest
Many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions to the singer's arrest and fraud case. Here's what they had to say:
@mistervvs_ said:
"Sean Kingston’s scammed several of my jeweller friends and did incredible damage to their businesses. I wish him luck!"
@bluemartinez_ wrote:
"This is true. It is also an important lesson about diversifying your portfolio and investing in various entities, such as the stock market and businesses. No one remains hot forever in the music business."
@TMafianie responded:
"Great point, I think he had the money, just didn’t wanna spend it. Why do you think he doesn't have it?"
@M_A_N_ofLetters replied:
"You should've offered to bail him out for an interview, instead of using him as an example."
Zongo opens up on his 9-month jail term
In March 2025, during an interview with Trap and Pass, as per FARPost, Zongo opened up on the sexual assault case he had that made him spend nine months in jail.
“I’ve never told this story in any interview before, but there’s something I need to share,” Zongo said during the interview.
“When I was at Chippa United, I was on top of the world, living like a star. It was Thursday, payday, and I went out with Mbulelelo Mabizela, whom I looked up to like a father figure. Back then, he was driving a Bentley, and life was good. We’d drive to training with the windows down, just enjoying the moment.
“One evening, we decided to head to the University of Western Cape and hang out with some girls. After some drinks, we ended up at a hotel. The next morning, Mabizela left with his date, and I left with mine."
