Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Anderson, faced a judge Monday who set his bond at $100,000, or $10,000 on each of the 10 charges he faces.
He was also ordered to surrender his passport, won't be allowed to possess firearms, and can't have contact with his mother.
Robert Rosenblatt, an attorney for Kingston and his mother, previously said they looked forward to addressing the charges in a Florida court and “are confident of a successful resolution.”
The Jamaican American performer had a No. 1 hit with “Beautiful Girls” in 2007 and collaborated with Justin Bieber on the song “Eenie Meenie."
Kingston was already on two years’ probation for trafficking stolen property.
His mother pleaded guilty in 2006 to bank fraud for stealing over $160,000 and served nearly 1.5 years in prison, according to federal court records.
Kingston suffered serious injuries in May 2011 when the personal watercraft he was riding struck the bridge connecting Palm Island with the MacArthur Causeway.
