Former NBA player Brandon Jennings has found success beyond basketball through his fashion label, Tuff Crowd, with a little help from celebrity friends. Despite the 29-year-old's initial uncertainty after retiring from professional sports, Jennings managed to reinvent himself. Unlike some athletes who struggle post-retirement, Jennings tapped into his creativity and took entrepreneurial risks. He admits that entering the fashion industry without formal training was challenging, yet his connections played a crucial role. Jennings highlights how influential figures like Khloe Kardashian assisted him with crafting his brand narrative and encouraging him to promote his work. Moreover, music superstar Chris Brown consistently wore Tuff Crowd apparel, giving the brand significant exposure. Jennings also credits basketball stars like Steph Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo for promoting his clothing line, further establishing its presence.
