T.I.'s clothing line boosted by jail time

T.I. has been given a boost following his release from prison at the news sales of his clothing line shot up as he spent time behind bars.

The rapper is currently staying in a half way house after serving 10 months of an 11 month sentence for violating terms of probation.

But the bad press surrounding his jail time hasn't stopped fans from buying pieces from his AKOO fashion line, which saw a 25% increase in profitability over the last 12 months.

A representative for the company tells TMZ.com that such a surge in sales has not been seen since the star appeared in reality TV show Road to Redemption in 2009.

The range includes hooded tops, jeans, sweatshirts and shirts and prices range from $20 to $220.
