Youtuber KSI has urged his fans to stop paying inflated prices for his drink, Prime Energy. Since its release, the drink has been notoriously hard to purchase, with people paying over the odds on Amazon and some select independent shops.

Prime first went on salein Asda in 2022, with customers restricted to three bottles per person. It also went on sale in Aldi just before Christmas, with chaos ensuing as people battled to get a bottle of Prime.
KSI asked Asda to lower the price to £2 after the supermarket raised the price to £2.50, but it’s been reported that some are selling the drink for hundreds of pounds. Speaking to Capital FM, KSI said the reselling annoys him.

On a short video uploaded to Youtube, KSI reacted to the video where a woman purchased the 12 pack mentioned above. KSI said “Oh my god, no. He can’t keep getting away with this. Stop buying it at these prices!”.
The Youtube star is referring to a shop known as Wakey Wines, which is a shop based in Wakefield. The owner of the shop seemingly has a good supply of the drink and regularly videos himself with customers who are holding it.
