Rapper B.o.B. joins the AKOO Clothing Brand troop as the brand’s newest ambassador. His debut single “Nothin’ On You” was released last year and propelled his talent into the bigger scene. Since then he has collaborated with many stars in the music industry and his partnership with AKOO is opening the door to the fashion world.
B.o.B’s fresh face in the industry has already proven his talent and marketability. His style is effortless and unlike other rappers, B.o.B. has an accessible image. If this were the nineties, he’ll be the perfect guy next door.
And that, is what AKOO Clothing Brand is all about. AKOO keeps things real, and represents what the contemporary generation is all about. Stylish without being snobbish and cool without being somebody else.
Do you think T.I. and the rest of AKOO gang pick the right ambassador?
Look who rocked a custom-designed AKOO Clothing suit at the 2011 BET Awards red carpet and stage back in June. Hosea Chanchez, star of The Game is the new celebrity ambassador of AKOO Clothing stood out of the crowd with his AKOO gear.
Ralph Reynolds, Creative Director of AKOO Clothing stated:
“I am so pleased with the outcome of the suit we designed. Some people say that the clothes makes the man, but in this case, the man and the clothes were in perfect harmony, both feeding off of the other’s strong traits and characteristics. Hosea’s swag and charisma were apparent at the BET Awards red carpet and stage.”
The AKOO suit was designed to be relaxed and versatile to complement Hosea Chanchez’s atheltic posture, yet classic to wow red carpet spectators.
Still in the light of TI’s interview with Larry King of CNN, Trapmuzik published Tip’s photos with the talkshow king, and here’s one of our favorites.
Both gentlemen look dashing. We got a sneaky suspicion that Larry King was given some AKOO stuff, and we were right. Sandrarose.com reported today that Larry did receive a bunch of AKOO stuff, including a pair of jeans, an AKOO sweater AND… Larry actually used this one immediately:
It’s the AKOO Trail Pack we talked about a few weeks ago! Take a closer look:
If it looks cool on Larry King, it will surely look cool on you. If you’re planning for a summer holiday, this bag could be your travel companion backpacking around Europe or any other exotic places!
It’s been awhile since we last saw a celebrity rocking AKOO, and look what we found on our stash today:
Rapper Bow Wow and the King of the South reppin the voters back in the election season and both were looking fine. The t-shirt was produced by AKOO and it’s the first AKOO t-shirt to be released. The iconic t-shirt has become a part of US history! The swagger lives on and now you can be a part of history with many other AKOO t-shirts, and here are some of our current favorites available at DrJays.com. They are all on sale, by the way, and your welcome!
New artist, Prince Jamir, shows his love to AKOO Clothing at his album’s release event at the Trump Towers recently. Prince Jamir has just released his debut album titled “My Offering” on Celestial Art Music Label. Lesson learned, people: love AKOO and AKOO loves you back. Here he’s shown wearing the never been seen before AKOO Herringbone Blazer and we gotta say he looks HOT!
Cute guy, cool swagger, great songs too. Check his work at his MySpace and share your thoughts right here: is he fit to be a King Of Oneself? TI must be so proud seeing a young artist on the rise loving AKOO.

Here’s a rare AKOO moment, taken last year, near the election. Sisters Vanessa and Angela Simmons asked us for their respect in voting and they looked so excited about the fabulous t-shirts!
And although it’s been so LONG since the election, you’ll be happy to know that the AKOO Respect My Vote T-shirt is still up for grabs for only $8.99! We’re seeing this t-shirt as a historic relic that’s a must buy!
Now this is a sentence from DJ Drama about TI that makes fans everywhere wonder: will TI really come home sooner than his supposedly 366 days sentence?
In an interview with Mr. Peter Parker show, DJ Drama revealed that TI will come home ‘sooner than later’. Here’s the interview:
DJ Drama stated:
“Nah, I haven’t talked to Tip directly. But I was up at the office the other day and he’s good. There were some rumors going on about some sickness or something that happened at the prison but all that’s false, I know he’s good. He’s getting all the letters people are writing him and everything. Tiny has been up there multiple times even though he says he don’t want nobody to come up and see him. I’m curious though, I definitely wanna know his reaction to the Michael Jackson situation, him passing and even in general you know. You think about all of the people locked up feeling the same way. Tip is good. He’ll be home sooner than later. You know what I mean, get right back to work.”
That’s a pretty bold statement as TI is due to be released in 2010.
Anyway, while waiting for TI’s official release from prison, there’s a good news. TI’s AKOO Clothing Line is on a major discount at DrJays. Here are some of the newest AKOO items on discount:
TI might be away in jail right now, but before he hit the clinker, he participated in a photoshoot for The Source Magazine Power 30 Issue that will hit the newsstands June 16, 2009. Here’s your TI fix of the day.
Tell us what more do you want to see from TI? We’ll dig our archives we’ll search high and low to get your needs. Submit your requests in the comments area and we’ll see if we can find what you’re looking for!
While TI is spending his days at the Arkansas Federal Prison, his fiancé, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle is getting busy with her own gigs and one of them is starring in the BET reality television show with Antonia “Toya” Carter. So if you wanna get a taste of Tiny’s or Toya’s life, be sure to watch out for the show about the “Hot Moms of ATL”.
Before you forget who Tiny is (aside of TI’s longtime fiancé and the mother of his children), we’re gonna refresh your memory. Tameka “Tiny” Cottle is a 90′s singer with the group, Xscape. While Toya, is the ex-wife of rapper Lil Wayne and the mother of his daughter. Talk about the ladies of hip hop royalties.
As we quote from the press release:
“Each episode will give the audience an inside look into Tiny and Toya’s lives. They take us on an exciting rollercoaster ride in search of independence and a quest to set the record straight. We watch them flip the script and create new business ventures of their own. They will be faced with real choices that will potentially change their lives and the lives of those around them forever. We learn why this magnetic and mesmerizing duo won the hearts of T.I. and Lil Wayne, as they win over ours.”
You can see the show’s preview on June 15 and a sneak peek on June 28. The show will premier on BET, June 30 at 10 p.m. We’ll keep you posted. TI looked so hot in that top picture that we think sweaters are in again. So here, we feature the AKOO classic Mascot Sweater.
By now you probably realize how we always associate AKOO Clothing with its owner, TI (who wears them a lot, of course). Well turns out that other celebs -that includes athletes- are also donning AKOO and looking fly. PressPass.TV followed Ian Johnson of Minnesota Vikings and his wife, Chrissy, whom he proposed to after the Broncos’ 43-42 overtime victory in the Fiesta Bowl in 2006, going around New York City a few months back. They stopped at the AKOO office and Ian actually got some free AKOO stuff.
In TI news: We are dreading every single day towards TI’s incarceration. But guess what, the King of the South is asking for his ‘check-in’ date to be postponed. TI is supposed to report by noon Tuesday to the Federal Correction Institution at Forrest City, Arkansas. According to reports, TI asked a court to let him remain free while he looks for a placement in a minimum-security prison near Atlanta. Tip claims that his criminal history was miscalculated by prison officials, due to the fact that his lawyer called a 2003 ‘scuffle’ with a mall cop. In the pre-sentencing report, it says that Tip has a “serious history of violence”. So when will the prison date be? The delay is said to be two weeks, but hey, anything can happen. We haven’t really heard about the exact date yet, but we do know that Tip is appearing in yet another farewell concert and after party this Sunday, May 24th, 2009 at Velvet Room, Atlanta.
