Sean Kingston Claims He Was Kidnapped by a Los Angeles Jeweler

A watch exchange turned into a scary encounter that lead to a kidnapping, claims singer Sean Kingston who recently filed a report with the Los Angeles police department claiming he was held against his will by his jeweler.

According to TMZ, Kingston alleges he arranged a meeting with the jeweler at 1:50 a.m. in a downtown L.A parking lot. The reason for the meeting? A dispute over a $225,000 watch. Kingston has been making payments on the time piece spending $185,000, but refuses to pay out the total because he feels the watch isn't worth the asking price. After arguments over the balance, Kingston tells police he agreed to meet with the jeweler and exchange the watch for one that is priced at $185K. But the meeting turned sour, according to the singer. He alleges when he got in the jeweler's car to do the exchange, the man snatched Sean's watch away and refused to come up off the replacement.

SK says he refused to get out of the ride until his watch was returned, so the jeweler and his cronies locked him in, drove him to a secluded area and threw him from the car. Police are investigating the claims.

Kinston was pissed about the whole encounter. Taking to Twitter he voiced his disdain typing, "Never trust Avianne jewelers... Period.. Shady business.. GOD never misses anything so we will leave this in his hands but just know KARMA!" Followed by, "Love all the fans.. I'm ok and safe 😬 just hurt to work so hard for something and have someone thinking they can't just take it from you smh."
