Popular rapper Sean Kingston, who was involved in a horrific jet-ski accident in May, has been discharged and is not only back on his feet, but also back at work.

Kingston, who made a miraculous recovery after suffering head trauma when he crashed into a bridge in Miami, was reported to be out of hospital and back home, where he was greeted with a welcome-back party by friends and family.

Over the weekend, the rapper returned to work for the first time since the accident as he was part of Iyaz’s video shoot for a new single titled Pretty Girls.

After the video shoot, Kingston uploaded his hospital pictures on his Facebook and Twitter pages.

He also wrote: “Love my life. . . the Lord blessed me with a second chance at life . . . and I’ma cherish it.”

According to The YBF reports, Kingston has slimmed down, but shows no signs of injury after the accident that nearly took his life, aside from a brace on his left forearm.

He was hospitalised in critical condition after the Sea-Doo jet-ski he was piloting along with friend passenger Cassandra Sanchez, crashed into the Palm Island Bridge, which connects Palm Island to the MacArthur Causeway.

According to Sanchez, Kingston lost control of the jet-ski (one he reportedly purchased just days prior to the accident) because he was going too fast. A passerby in a boat, who happened to be an off-duty Coast Guard employee, helped the two out of the water and to safety.

Kingston (born Kisean Anderson) was admitted to the hospital on May 29, and moved to the ICU, a few days later, when his condition was downgraded to stable.

Sanchez was also admitted to the hospital but was discharged shortly thereafter with minimal injuries.

Although the singer is expected to make a full recovery, sources say he suffered a broken jaw, fractured wrist and water in his lungs.

Kingston performed in Zimbabwe early this year and failed to live up to expectations, but some of his songs remain hits among local youths.
