Many celebrities, professional athletes and tastemakers are showing their support for Clifford “T.I.” Harris. Men’s lifestyle fashion brand AKOO Clothing partnered with Grand Hustle to launch the Salute The King Campaign, which is aimed at providing fans with a creative outlet to express their appreciation for the Atlantic recording artist T.I., by recording and uploading video testimonials to www.salutetheking.com.

The campaign is not only viral but continues to rollout to retail stores nationally with participating retailers hosting fan appreciation events and special promotions. “We’re pleased to see the overwhelming response of so many people from all over the world. People love him not only because he’s a great artist but because he’s a great humanitarian. Just recently T.I. sponsored a bus trip for 46 family members to visit 14 fellow inmates,” states Jeff Belizaire, Director of Marketing for AKOO Clothing.
T.I. recently told MTV News: “I’ve been blessed to receive tons of mail from my fans, family and friends, as well as get visits on a regular basis. Unfortunately some guys aren’t as fortunate. There are a lot of good dudes in here that haven’t been able to see there loved ones in years. Their families can’t afford the trip so I wanted to help out.” To further support T.I.’s humanitarian efforts, AKOO Clothing plans to donate clothing to the family members of the inmates.

T.I REWARDS MEDIA BLOGGERS WITH CLOTHING LINE TO SHOW APPRECIATION OF THEIR SUPPORT!
And we all support him, Below is T.I's letter to we the blogging media that supports him all the time.
Hello everyone,
On behalf of the Salute the King Campaign I wanted to thank you all for helping us spread the "viral" word on this. To show appreciation we would like to send you samples of our AKOO Clothing. Please reply to this email with a Men's top and bottom size. As well as your shipping address. And we will send you free AKOO promotional items. If you have not already done so, please email us the link in which the Salute the King story was posted in. Once again, thank you for your help. Countdown begins for my release this September!
Well, I will send my request for a small man aka KJ. KJ is about the same size as Clifford now. He's a tall 10 year old. We thank you very much for this gift. T.I that I have known in my days in Bankhead has been a humble person who has made some mistakes like most of us. However I rate him as one of the BEST father's I ever met. The last time he met us in Canada was 2007 when his album dropped and little did we now we may not see him for a long time.
T.I will survive. The system can be cruel in the United States, when people like Lindsay Lohan can go to rehab and T.I go to jail for an addiction issue. This is my person opinion and nobody else's. My interview with Tiny the first time was so heartbreaking. She has been a great mother to all those kids.
Let us continue to support the KING. It is a MUST! Special shout out to T.I's mom who has help keep those kids together. They need their dad home.
