Earlier Thursday, ABC News affiliate WPLG in Miami reported that the rapper’s mother, Janice Turner, was arrested on fraud charges following a raid on a residence in Southwest Ranches, Florida.
Southwest Ranches is located approximately 22 miles southwest of Miami, Florida.
Robert Rosenblatt, an attorney representing the rapper and his mother, told WPLG, “We are aware of some allegations” made against the two.
“We look forward to addressing these issues in court and are confident of a successful resolution for Shawn and his mother,” Rosenblatt said.
After Turner’s arrest, Kingston posted on Instagram: “People love negative energy! I’m fine, and so is my mother! … My lawyers are handling everything as we speak.
ABC News has reached out to a representative for Kingston for comment.
