Justin Bieber may be generous, but parting with his beloved Fisker Karma? Well, that's a different story.

Bieb's buddy Sean Kingston was recently out and about on the town driving J.B.'s flashy luxury vehicle and, when asked outside BOA Steakhouse in L.A., responded, "When you're best friends with one of the biggest pop stars in the world, you get all kinds of gifts."

Uh, not so fast.

As he prepared to embark on tour, Justin parked his car at Sean's house to "babysit" it, a source close to Kingston told E! News, and the Jamaican-born singer-rapper took it out for a night on the town. 

"Sean just wanted to have some fun with them," the source reveals about Kingston's exchange with the paparazzi. "It was just a joke and Sean didn't mean to upset Justin or Scooter [Braun, Justin's manager who gave the Fisker to Justin as birthday present]. The whole thing got blown out of proportion."

Glad that got cleared up.
