Sean Kingston paid a visit to BBC Radio 1’s Smashed With Sloth and discussed topics like his come up in the music business, working with Justin Bieber and famous women in entertainment.
In one part of the interview, Kingston was asked which celebrities he would hypothetically make his wife, who he would sleep with and who he’d avoid forever.
After the 31-year-old said he’d marry Lauren London and sleep with Meagan Good, he was asked who is the most famous person he’s ever been with sexually, and it turned out to be Serena Williams.
Kingston also said that he used to date the tennis star several years ago and always thought very highly of her. He stated that Williams visited him for six days when he was in that nasty jet ski accident in 2011 as well.
“That was my dog,” he said. “That was somebody I really looked to for advice … I use to work out with her. She was just always somebody that really, really looked out for me and made sure that I was good … She’s just always been a great friend of mine. [She has] $300 million and all she wears is Nike tracksuits.”
Kingston also said the nine year difference between he and Williams played a part in their eventual breakup. “I knew what I had, but I just didn’t really follow-up on some stuff that I was supposed to follow-up on,” he explained. “I was kind of young at the time, and I was being young. She’s older than me, so she wanted something different.”
