Popular Yorkshire shop on TikTok, Wakey Wines, was banned from the app after apparently selling cans of Prime Energy drink for £100. The drink, launched by popular YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul, typically retails for £1.99 in supermarkets such as Asda and Aldi.
The Prime drink has been so popular that supermarkets have had to limit how many people can buy in order to prevent bulk buying. But after a video appeared to show a woman buying a 12-pack of Prime for £1,200, KSI reacted and vented his frustration at the situation, urging fans to “stop buying it at these prices.”

Wakey Wines owner, Mohammad Azar Nazir, released a statement on their Instagram page following its ban, claiming “there is a well known influencer trying to tarnish my business.”
"I have now been banned off TikTok at 500k I've been working so hard for this,” the statement read
"All of my videos are all for fun, I saw a business idea with WFD sweets just like any other business man and I took the opportunity.
"Some jealous horrible people. Please report these posts and help me! Thank you to my fans always, Wakey Wines."
The account, which accumulated around 500,000 followers, was removed from the platform after Mr Nazir posted a video claiming to be the only shop in England that was selling the cans.
However, the account has since been reinstated. A TikTok spokesperson said: "We are open about the fact that we don't get every moderation decision right and have reinstated the Wakey Wines account. We hope they continue to use TikTok to promote their business."
