Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty ImagesTwo days after a Jet Ski crash in Miami left Sean Kingston fighting for his life, the singer remains in critical but stable condition in intensive care—while family, friends and fans are pulling for his recovery.
And that includes many of the singer's fellow stars, from Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, to LL Cool J and tour mate Justin Bieber.
"My love & prayers are with Sean Kingston & his family," tweeted pink-haired R&B babe Nicki Minaj, who collaborated with Kingston on the hit "Letting Go (Dutty Love)."
Said Rihanna: "Sean we praying for u baby."
"Got my friend...in my prayers tonight. A true friend and big bro. Please keep him in your prayers tonight as well," tweeted Justin Bieber.
The teen idol, who joined forces with the 21-year-old Kingston for last year's smash "Eenie Meenie," said that he's fielded myriad inquiries from fans wanting to know the latest, but would defer to Kingston's relatives.
"He is doing better but out of respect to his family I will wait for them to comment," Bieber added. "I will continue to pray and support my friend."
"I hope and pray that Sean Kingston recovers quickly... #staystrong," wrote LL Cool J.
Tweeted SoujaBoy: "Praying for my brother @seankingston. I hope he makes a full recovery... smh it's always something :("
Kingston's publicist, Joseph Carozza, told E! News the family was moved and thankful for all the prayers and support.
Kingston was among several hip-hop musicians in town over Memorial Day weekend for Urban Beach Week
According to authorities, the "Beautiful Girls" crooner was critically injured Sunday when he accidentally rammed his watercraft into a McArthur Causeway bridge at approximately 6 p.m. A female passenger was also on the Jet Ski but was uninjured. An investigation is underway, and alcohol is not believed to be a factor.
Kingston's Jet Ski companion has been identified as Cassandra Sanchez, a longtime friend of the performer. Sanchez told TMZ that she and another gal-pal joined Kingston and his buddy in Miami Beach for an afternoon ride, but when they launched the watercraft, Sean's took off in a flash.
"Both Jet Skis pulled out of the dock at the same time and we were going so fast we just blasted past them. When we turned a corner and crashed," she said. "They were so far behind us they didn't even see us crash."
As they zoomed toward the bridge directly ahead, she yelled to Kingston, "We can't fit under there! Are we going to try and go under there? Sean stop!"
But at that point it was too late. Despite a last ditch effort to avoid the bridge, Kingston slammed into it because, Sanchez said, they were "going really fast."
Friends saw them bobbing in the water and sped over to find Kingston "coughing up blood."
They were joined by an off-duty Coast Guard member who helped keep Kingston afloat until emergency crews could arrive and transport him to Ryder Trauma Center.
According to Sanchez, he remains intubated and unable to talk, but is "lucid." She added that doctors expect Kingston (whose real name is Kisean Anderson) to remain hospitalized for at least a few weeks.
