When KSI and Logan Paul launched their Prime drinks back in January 2022, not even they could have expected the success that the brand has had over the last few months. The drinks have become a viral phenomenon, especially in the UK where stock isn\u2019t as widely available as in the United States. While the company has a deal with Asda, it\u2019s resellers who have been making the biggest moves with Prime. Most recently, the shop Wakey Wines has been under fire for apparently selling the new Prime Energy cans for \u00a3100 each. KSI urged fans to \u201cstop buying it at these prices,\u201d and he\u2019s now doubled down on that call. KSI \u201chates\u201d Prime resellers \u201ctaking advantage\u201d of drinks hype The YouTube mogul appeared on Talksport on January 11 to discuss his fight with Faze Temperrr when the topic of Prime and its insane popularity was brought up. He figured that the drink would do \u201calright\u201d seeing as it had the backing of himself and Logan Paul, but he didn\u2019t expect it to get so crazy. \u201cI didn\u2019t expect it to be this insane to the point that people are paying \u00a3100 for a can of Prime or \u00a325 for a bottle of Prime hydration, it\u2019s going crazy,\u201d he said. \u201cI hate it, I hate it,\u201d KSI said when asked about fans paying sky-high prices for the drinks. \u201cThere\u2019s a guy called Wakey Wines and I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a joke or not, but either way, it\u2019s a terrible practice. Yeah, people want to try these drinks and they have not got the chance to try the drinks.\u201d He added that resellers are \u201ctaking advantage of the hype\u201d and that he \u201chates\u201d that as well. It\u2019s not the first time he\u2019s hit out at resellers, as KSI was one of the first people to shine a spotlight on ASDA employees skimming drinks from the stock and reselling them outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI blasts Wakey Wines over \u00a3100 Prime cans for \u201ctaking advantage\u201d of his fans Prime\/TikTok: Wakey WinesYouTube star KSI says he \u2018hates\u2019 seeing the Prime Hydration drinks being resold at massive prices amid drama with the owner of Wakey Wines.
