Months after being convicted of a high-end fraud scheme in South Florida, Grammy-winning singer Sean Kingston was sentenced on Friday to three-and-a-half years in prison and three years of supervised release.

Kingston had asked if he could self-surrender at a later date due to health issues, but Florida Judge David Leibowitz ordered the 35-year-old Beautiful Girls crooner to be taken into custody and begin serving his sentence immediately.
