10 years after attaining global fame with his hit single, ‘Beautiful Girls’, Sean Kingston now claims he’s pretty much broke.
The Jamaican-American singer revealed his dire financial situation in a legal battle over unpaid lawyer bills.
Kingston filed court documents in which he stated that he has less than $500 in his bank accounts and owns no property or cars.

It all began in 2015 when lawyer, James J. Gangitano, sued Kingston, after accusing the singer of not paying $12,500 worth of legal work.
However, the lawyer and Kingston are said to have reached a deal in early 2016 which was supposed to see the singer pay the lawyer $20,000 between April 2016 and January 2016.
But Gangitano headed back to the court months later, saying Kingston breached the deal by failing to make those payments.
Subsequently, a judge earlier this year ruled against Kingston, asking the singer to pay $14,500 in damages with interest until paid off.
Kingston was also ordered to fill out a financial sheet which listed his assets and property in the hopes the firm can use the info to collect on the debt.
