Logan Paul and KSI’s Prime has defended the levels of caffeine in its beverages after facing a backlash. It comes after health experts called on the US Food and Drug Administration to investigate the energy drink company. A 12 oz can of Prime, which was founded by YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI, contains 200mg of caffeine, equivalent to about half a dozen Coke cans or nearly two Red Bulls. The brand released a statement to People on July 11, saying: “PRIME Energy, sold in a can, dropped in 2023 and contains a comparable amount of caffeine to other top selling energy drinks, all falling within the legal limit of the countries it’s sold in.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The spokesperson for the brand said that the drink “complied with all FDA guidelines” prior to hitting the market and indicated on the packaging that PRIME energy drinks are “not made for anyone under the age of 18.” “As a brand, our top priority is consumer safety, so we welcome discussions with the FDA or any other organisation regarding suggested industry changes they feel are necessary in order to protect consumers,” they added. Earlier this week, New York Senator Charles Schumer urged the FDA to launch a probe into Paul’s energy drink, which became an overnight sensation when it launched last year. “One of the summer’s hottest status symbols for kids is not an outfit, or a toy – it’s a beverage,” the Democratic senator said in a letter to the FDA. “But buyer and parents beware because it’s a serious health concern for the kids it so feverishly targets." Prime has become a phenomenon since being launched in 2022, to the extent it’s sold for ridiculous prices, made one shop in Wakefield go viral, and even been reviewed by foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay. The collaboration between Paul and KSI (real name Olajide “JJ” Olatunji) was announced back in January last year, with the pair just recently touring Munich, Barcelona, Copenhagen and Oslo to promote the drink.

Kim Kardashian has always been a hot topic, but there's no denying her impressive business mentality with several deals under her belt, including her well-received shape-wear brand, Skims. But now, the reality star has kickstarted a new venture, and it includes a partnership for an energy drink – and people are divided. In a recent Instagram upload, The Kardashians star shared her surprise collaboration with Alani Nutrition with a brand new drink called KIMADE. The photo shows the mother-of-four posing in a swimsuit (Skims, no doubt), stilettos, jewellery and a pink can of the new beverage. "KIMADE. Coming soon with @AlaniNutrition," she wrote as the caption with a lemon and love heart emoji for good measure. The post was flooded with thousands of comments, with some diehard fans on board with the new collab. Others weren't so convinced. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter One brutal comment read: "The fact that Kim K will do anything to stay relevant!" Another added: "I hope all u don’t buy this!" One person bluntly said: "It's giving desperate." Meanwhile, a third expressed how they believed the collab was more suited for her sister, Khloe Kardashian. "I feel like this collab would’ve made more sense for Khloe," they wrote. Anyway, for those interested in the new KIMADE drop, founder Alani Nu Founder Katy Hearn said: "We are thrilled to collaborate with Kim, who is such an amazing female powerhouse and entrepreneur," "Kim's dedication to both her family and creating innovative brands perfectly align with our brand values, making this partnership such a natural fit. We are so excited for everyone to try this flavor, which we know is going to be one of our best yet!" It's said to be available on 17 July online, before a wider US supermarket rollout.
