Taking place during BET Hip Hop Awards weekend, the exclusive affair will be hosted by none other than AKOO's Co-founder, Grammy award winning artist, actor, and producer, Clifford "T.I." Harris and New York Knicks all-star Amar'e Stoudemire. The invite only event will be held at a private location in Atlanta and will attract 150 celebrity guests, close personal friends and family.

"We're gathering our family and friends during BET's Hip Hop Awards weekend to show love and appreciation to T.I. as he celebrates his 30th birthday, his new book Power & Beauty, and the growth of the AKOO Brand," states Jason Geter, Co-founder of AKOO Clothing and CEO of Grand Hustle Records.

During the brunch soiree, guests will be presented a sneak peek screening of the "Salute the King" fan-based documentary.
