When rap artist T.I. enters a federal prison later this month to serve a one year and a day sentence on prior gun charges conviction, his money-making machine will still be churning out plenty of cash.
T.I.’s AKOO men’s line is selling better than expected, according to a sales rep at Dr. Jay’s, one of the merchants carrying T.I.’s line. His line is flying out off the shelves,” said the rep who asked for anonymity because he is not authorized to speak for the store chain.
AKOO means “A King Of Oneself”. The Dr. Jay’s rep said the biggest selling items in the line are the jeans and tees. Want your sons to dress like T.I.? Click here to buy.

nope … don’t want my son dressing like T.I. ..
thanks-for-askin
A MESS!
That shirt looks like a plain white t to me………..
When is he going to jail?
I’m proud to see TI has expanded his brand by starting his own clothing line. Can we get something a little more original? This stuff here looks just like everything else on the shelves….
T.I is so original, I mean a rapper with a clothing line is unheard of…
Does he make women’s clothes. If so why don’t I ever see Tiny with any of it on.. 2 low end for her?
Was talking w. Somone & we were wondering if Puffy Sean John still making money like it was a few years back. I, personally think Sean John is a great clothing line for men, women & children.
When is TI going to jail?
I dont like the crinkle on the upper thigh. My son likes the jeans alot. If he wants some, he can have them. He works.
Now what I WILL NOTTTTTT let my son wear, and told him if he bought it the ish would be in the trash is Akon’s line. THe jeans and jackets are nice, but the friggin line is called Konvict. Aint no way in hell my son is walking around with Konvict printed across his back, chest or azz.
I like the jeans for my son BUT he doesn’t wear $90 jean so I’ll pass.
90 dollas for a pair of jeans … ummm NO … not my money OR his …
me and Shauny were >>>>>>>>>.<<<<<<<<<<
UH HUH what are those expnsive shoes kym
Ooooh, I love me some TI. I would drink a cup of his bath water with his cute azz. He can get it…yeah, he can definitely get it.
Chuckles … I have a PICTURE of 1400.00 shoes … girlfriend does NOT own a pair and WON’T own a pair … 1400.00 is 2 months rent… chile please … lol
MORE CIARA DIARIEs =D!!!!
Sandra
I know it’s off topic but didn’t you bring us this first, Auntie

Sheeeit…Cougars are puttin’ it on these young ones…Rhi didn’t stand a chance
@ Candycane I feel you on that Konvict mess. I remember Benie Segal and them tried to start a clothing line & it was basically a jail uniform… & they made it in kid sizes. Who signs off on something like that.
Or 50 with the bulletproof vest clothing..
I’m sorry but Kings do not get themselves landed in federal prison. Nigga please – NEXT?!?!
Just saw that Sean John has an outlet at GA Premium Outlets, telling. Ecko is there too.
All this stuff is made in far flung countries with minimal worker protection (non urban clothing included).
I wish him the best of luck w/ the line (or his ownership share of it..wink), but will only be seen in if it’s promotional (i.e.: given out free).
i’m going to come out with a clothing line….or a reality show. those seems to be the things to do right now….
Kat, I’d watch..
@Miss I take it you saw that report on TMZ as well..lol
I read somewhere that CiCi is the opening act for Brit, Brit..
Is that confirmed bc I haven’t really heard anything about it.
@ Daisy
Yes!! I’m waiting for Sandra to put up her post. I know she’s grinning hella big right now!
@Miss I emailed it to her as well..lol I was like let me find out Sandra was on to something back then..lol I am still in denial..lol I wonder if they will deny it again.
@Miss I guess he wanted to be like Usher in that sense and get him an old lady as well..lol
@Sandra – off topic – I thought about you while visiting TMZ just now.
They revealed the mystery woman that sent Chris Brown that 3-page text which caused the big fight with Rihanna…as no other than Tina Davis and pretty much confirmed what you said about their prior relationship. I was like WOW…Sandra gave us the goods on that secret relationship before. I just wonder what the long text said.
@ intown….it would be very interesting!
@Nina that was per a source so technically we still don’t know..lol Sandra will speak on this sooner than later though…
Sandra must be smiling like the cat from Alice in wonderland.
I can hear her now. Yall going to learn to listen to auntie when she tells you something.
Wouldn’t it be Big if they credit her for reporting it first.
Nina,
I saw that too. I wrote Sandra an email telling her I came over to bow down and here she doesn’t even have the story posted. We be forgetting that our girl does get an occasional juicy exclusive.
Good job Miss Sandra.
@Isc I guess you believe the story as well..lol Sandra wouldn’t know what to do if they gave her credit for blowing up his spot last yr.
Sandra have you ever heard that Chris has a hush baby stashed somewhere?
@Bird you drank the kool aid as well..lol They said source they aint name a name of who said it..lol I have my cup in hand but I aint drinking just yet..lol
Wait a minute. I retrack my statement.
Sandra said the text was from a dancer. One of those teeny bopper x girlfriends. Remember she even posted a song he wrote. I think it was Trey Songs. I don’t remember her saying the fight was over Tina the manager.
(& I have inside info as far as Chris & Tina goes & its so true.)
Is this Tina person the older manager he was previously linked to?
Its alright.
Daisy,
No doubt I am a full fledged TMZ Kool Aid drinker. They are serious about checking facts and paying for em too and if they get bad information they are not afraid to admit it. I need to apologize to Sandra because I was checking out some of her old stories on Chris and Tina and I would be the first one talking about, “you lyin Sandra.”
iscream
She got this one wrong, but Sandra reported on Chris and Tina in at least 5 stories between 11/97 and 4/08.
nevermind read it for myself. Usher must’ve told him how the older chicks get down. At what age are you deemed a cougar, 40 plus?
Shauny,
I been a cougar since before 40.
@Bird on one hand im like a 40 yr old wouldnt send a 3pg text on the other if you are his manager some of the text could have been bizness with the booty call info at the very end..lol I just can’t take it right now..lol I will stay in the river of denial..lol
Watch out now Bird…haha
Bird, you are one of my fav cougars. You know why, cuz you’re an INVESTIGATIVE cougar!
xo,
intown.

*********************************************
My son wore G-Unit too, back when I was shopping for him. He never had a bullet proof vest. I will say that G-Unit made great jeans, the quality of the denim was really good. It didnt fade quick, and had sturdy knees. The sweats were really think and warm too. The coloring on the t-shirts lasted long too.
