‘Has Wakey Wines Been Arrested?’ After it was discovered that Wakey Wines in the UK was selling Prime energy drinks for more than £24 per bottle, the company could find itself in legal problems.
YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration has been flying off the shelves since it was introduced. The popular beverage has become difficult to find, and some vendors are profiting from the situation.
Although the popular beverage is widely accessible in the United States, it is only sold in ASDA stores in the United Kingdom. As a result, there are now restrictions on the beverage’s price and quantity.
Has Wakey Wines Been Arrested? Where Is The Owner Now?
Regarding the proprietor of Wakey Wines’ arrest, there has been no official notification. We must wait to see if they experience repercussions for what they did.
After sharing a Tiktok video in which a young girl was charged £145 for six bottles of Prime energy drink, Wakey Wines, a newsstand in Wakefield, Yorkshire, England, was named “the U.K.’s most expensive newsagents.”
The video on TikTok featured Millie Hazelgrave, a Castleford resident who had driven to the store solely to get the beverage.
She is shown being charged £145 by the Wakey Wines employees for six bottles (more than £24 per bottle), which she gladly pays in cash. The lady paid 12 times the standard amount, which is £2 for each bottle.
Young fans, particularly teens, are in a frenzy over the well-known energy drink that KSI and Logan Paul co-created.
A dozen blue raspberry Prime Hydration were listed on eBay for £50,000 by one vendor.
KSI Reaction To The Viral Video
Wakey Wines has received criticism from KSI for overcharging for his Prime beverages. He responded to the store’s video on his TikTok.
In response to the video, KSI, a well-known YouTuber, rapper, former boxer, and co-founder of PRIME alongside Logan Paul, called it “outrageous.”
’ He said, “Wakey Wines, my man is charging folks 20 pence per Prime.”
He continued by advising customers to wait to purchase it from ASDA rather than shelling out these exorbitant amounts.
KSI expressed surprise at the girl’s behavior as well. He said, “Get it in Asda nice and early and pay £2. Why is she doing this?”
Not just him but others were in shock. Users of TikTok voiced their outrage in the comments section, calling it a “rip off” and a “daylight theft.”
KSI And Logan Paul Launched PRIME In 2022
The energy drink company Prime Hydration was founded by YouTubers and friends KSI and Logan Paul.
It was introduced in early 2022 and offered seven distinct tastes in 500 ml bottles, such as Lemon Lime, Tropical Punch, Ice Pop, and Blue Raspberry.
People are reportedly waiting in long lines outside ASDA stores in order to buy a bottle (or bottles) before they sell out and disappear from the shelves.
Due to the circumstance, ASDA has set a three-bottle limit per individual. According to the Daily Star, some aficionados are spending more than £10,000 for a single bottle as the beverage is selling out in most ASDA stores.
With over 24 million YouTube subscribers apiece, KSI and Logan may be held responsible for the success.
Previously rival boxers, they now collaborate as business partners. In a joint statement, they also stated that now that they are both playing for the same squad, they “truly believe the sky is the limit.”
The fact that the official PRIME Instagram account has over a million followers also indicates how popular the beverage is.
