KSI fans reckon Lionel Messi could be on the receiving end of a lawsuit after discovering his hydration drink.
The global superstar announced the imminent release of his Mas+ hydration drink earlier this week.
Filled with electrolytes, vitamins and minerals, Mas+ is engineered to provide customers with positive hydration.
Photos of the drink’s packaging, as with everything Messi is associated with, went viral.
And people couldn’t help but notice the brightly coloured bottles bear a striking resemblance to those used by the hit sports drink Prime.
It didn’t take long for the similarity to come to the attention of Prime co-founder KSI, who responded with a blunt comment.

One remarked: “Talk about recycling.”
Another chimed in: “Messi stealing from people. Nothing new there.”
Despite the remarkable resemblance to Prime, Mas+ will be available around the world from June 14.
Ahead of its launch, Messi said: “Hydration is essential to overall wellbeing.
“I believe everyone deserves a drink with amazing ingredients and taste,” Messi said in a press release Tuesday.
“Mas+ is a drink I’m proud to share with family and friends. Because everyone deserves to feel like a champion in every part of their life.
Messi and his team had close to 450 different names to choose from for the eagerly-anticipated product.
But after much deliberation, they settled on Mas – which means more in Spanish – and decided to add a plus sign for an extra boost of inspiration.
