Sean Kingston has been sentenced to three and a half years in federal prison for his role in a $1 million fraud scheme. On Friday, before US Judge David Leibowitz handed down Kingston’s sentence in a South Florida courtroom, the rapper, 35, apologized and claimed he had learned from his actions, according to the Associated Press.

Kingston, 35, and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty in May of defrauding luxury businesses of more than $1 million.

Rapper and singer Sean Kingston received a 42-month sentence from a federal judge Friday in Fort Lauderdale after his conviction on wire fraud charges.
