He’s been slapped with yet another lawsuit.

Once again, rapper Sean Kingston is being sued by a jeweler for allegedly neglecting to pay a hefty bill, The Source reports. Kingston, the article says, recently bought a Rolex, a diamond bracelet and traded in an older Rolex for a newer model from Haimov Jewelers in Florida for $25,000. He apparently said he’d settle up the next day, but didn’t. Such payment defaults are nothing new for Kingston, who once before lost in court to a jeweler regarding a payment dispute. He also was widely believed to have fabricated a story about being kidnapped as part of a separate jewelry-related dispute.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
