    Watch KSI and Logan Paul get pelted with bottles of Prime at drinks launch as security rush in to protect pair

    KSI and Logan Paul were pelted with bottles of Prime to the face on their tour of Europe… having asked fans to do so. The pair of rivals-turned business partners took the trip over to Copenhagen for the release of their popular drinks brand.
    KSI got a bottle of Prime to the face
    It came after Prime launched in Denmark
    And KSI sent the crowd wild when he screamed: “Drink Prime.”
    And it appeared some fans went a little too crazy as they began to spray the beverage everywhere and chuck bottles at the celebrity duo.
    Security did their best to fend them off but one was so perfectly aimed it bounced right off KSI’s bonce.
    The YouTube star gave credit where credit is due as he tweeted: “That Prime bottle to my head was pinpoint.”

    As it turned out, the marketing geniuses set the whole thing up and actually asked fans to lob the bottles – so long as they were empty.
    KSI, 30, and Paul, 28, took a tour of Europe stopping off at Munich, Barcelona, Copenhagen and finally Oslo.
    During the trip, they announced a partnership with LaLiga champions Barca, having already sponsored Arsenal and the UFC.
    The hydration drink was released to much fanfare in 2022 causing a craze, especially in the UK.

    Due to the limited UK stock upon its early release, fans were quite literally fighting in shops to get their hands on bottles.
    But now almost all major supermarkets in the UK sell Prime, including Tesco.
    KSI’s history with Paul goes back to their 2018 boxing match, which ended in a draw.
    It resulted in a rematch which KSI won a year later when they controversially turned professional in America.
    He is now six bouts in as a boxer and is in talks to next fight Tommy Fury, 24, who beat Paul’s brother Jake, 24, in February.
    Meanwhile, Paul has extended his WWE contract and has a spot in this year’s Money in The Bank pay-per-view, on July 1.

    ‘Devil Baby’ influencer who stalked Chelsea star Mason Mount after one-night stand breaks silence following conviction

    Sloan said she was ‘stuck in her own world’ while stalking the three Prem stars
    She also targeted Ben Chilwell, 26, and Brighton’s Billy Gilmour, 21, in a relentless ‘kiss and troll’ crusade after meeting the Premier League trio at a house party.
    During her harassment campaign, Sloan created sinister collages of Chilwell and Mount, 24, with other women and demanded apologies from the players for ignoring her messages.
    And Gilmour was left taking sleeping pills, cutting ties with his family and having his security beefed up after she falsely claimed she was pregnant despite the pair never having sex.
    On Tuesday, Sloan – a former OnyFans model – was spared jail when she was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

    She was handed a 12-week sentence suspended for 18 months and told to pay the millionaire stars a total of £1,100 in compensation – £500 to Gilmore and £300 to Chilwell and Mount.
    But speaking for the first time since her sentence, Sloan says she regrets her behaviour but claims it was down to “loneliness”.
    She told The Mail on Sunday: “I didn’t see it coming. I was very stuck in my own world.
    “I didn’t meet many people. I was quite lonely and being on OnlyFans just made me more lonely.

    “It’s only until it got to the point where I had to go to court, and potentially to prison, that I could see what I had done.”
    Sloan’s harassment exploded after she was invited to a party at England international Chilwell’s house after meeting him over social media.
    She slept with Chelsea team-mate Mount, who has 36 England caps, and the pair chatted “sporadically” for around six months until he cut things off.
    Sloan, from Exeter, Devon, then started stalking the 24-year-old and changed her number 21 times when he kept blocking her.
    She also sent him a screenshot of her paying £12.99 for a new number from Apple, saying: “I’m not buying food anymore so I can get more numbers.”
    ‘DEVIL BABY’
    And in the grips of obsession, she told him: “You must apologise or you will unlock a new character – Devil Baby. So let me apologise and make it right.”
    She told The Mail on Sunday the name was only meant to be “a joke”.
    Mount was left terrified that she would show up at the Chelsea training centre after she was unable to contact him.
    Speaking of her interactions with Mount, Sloan said she “thought it was going somewhere” but in reality there was no chance of a relationship.
    She also made an Instagram account with the username DevilBaby_10, which she used to create collages of Chilwell with other women.
    Gilmour was then bombarded with messages about Mount after the England star refused to message back.
    The stalker tagged his family and friends in the “completely fictitious” posts which ended in her claiming she was pregnant, despite the pair never having sex.
    Gilmour, who has been capped 16 times by Scotland, said her messages had a “huge impact” on his life following his switch from Chelsea to Brighton last September.
    He told the court: “I have not been able to sleep and have had to take sleeping tablets. It’s had a negative effect on my performance and professional life.”
    The court was told by Sloan’s mum, who describes herself on Facebook as a Reiki and Shamanic healer, that her daughter is “addicted” to social media.
    Following her trial, Sloan says she never intended to harm the three players but has learnt that online actions have real world consequences which she did not anticipate at the time.
    The influencer previously admitted one count of harassment, one of stalking and one count of stalking involving fear of violence or serious alarm or distress.
    The latter charge carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.
    Read More On The Sun
    Sloan admitted stalking Mount between June 19, 2022 to October 28 and Scots international Gilmour between September 10 2022, and October 28.
    She also pleaded guilty to harassing Chilwell between October 20 and 29. More

    PRIME has already landed some major sponsorship deals, including the UFC, Nascar, the Super Bowl and most notably Arsenal.

    The report adds the move is geared towards attracting commercial interest from a younger audience.
    KSI and Paul have well over 50million subscribers between them across their YouTube channels, with the former also a member of the popular UK group the Sidemen, who have announced their 2023 charity match.

    KSI’s pal accuses Tommy Fury of ‘piggybacking’ off brother Tyson and Jake Paul after brutally snubbing fight

    TOMMY FURY has been accused of riding the coattails of brother Tyson and bitter rival Jake Paul.TNT became a household name during his 2019 stint on Love Island but has continued to build his brand in the years since leaving the reality TV show.

    His public feud with social media sensation Jake Paul did wonders for his global popularity and culminated with a multi-million-pound payday in February.
    But fellow novice Viddal Riley insists Tommy would be a nobody in the sport if weren’t for the popularity of his brother and Paul.
    He told The Daily Mail: “Tommy without Jake [Paul] was fighting on his brother’s undercards getting a little relative touch.”
    Riley was recently publically snubbed by Tommy, who claimed the 25-year was “a lot lower” than himself in the boxing world.

    But ‘The Rilest’ insists his numbers far outshine those put up by Tommy, saying: “I can fight anybody and they can get a high amount of views.
    “I fight guys that no one’s ever heard of and get a million views, Tommy can’t say the same thing.
    “He can only piggyback off the guys that do have names, and then claim that it’s his numbers. It’s just an excuse to say he doesn’t want to fight me.”
    Despite being publicly snubbed by Tommy, Riley – the former trainer of KSI – is still holding out hope of sharing the ring with the celebrity.

    And he only sees their showdown going one way, saying: “If we fight I think Tommy Fury comes out worse than Anees Taj did on Friday.
    “I think Anees would knock out Tommy Fury. If he took the fight with me it would be very damaging.
    “I don’t know how much money it would take for him to take that hit on his brand but he couldn’t walk the roads the same again if he fights me and I think he knows that.
    “He will just start targeting JJ (KSI), someone I started training at the end of 2017.”
    Tommy’s proposed clash with KSI – who he nearly traded blows with last month – is seemingly “very close” to coming to fruition.
    And he hopes to use it to put an end to the YouTube boxing scene once and for all.

    He told Sky Sports: “Everybody knows what’s next for me, it’s being teased at the minute.
    “Hopefully, we can get this KSI fight over the line and I’ll knock off another YouTuber.
    “That’s my plan for this year. I want to end YouTube boxing within 12 months.
    “So that’s my plan. So we’ll see. I don’t know. I just take it one fight at a time.
    “All these guys are the same to me. There’s not one that stands out from the rest.

    Negotiations resumed after the pair nearly came to blows following KSI’s controversial knockout of self-proclaimed billionaire Fournier, which was overturned to a No Contest.
    And the social media sensation has claimed a deal for him to trade leather with Fury is on the brink of coming to fruition.
    The 30-year-old told Misfits Boxing’s YouTube channel: “I am training for that fight.
    “Negotiations are going back and forth, we’re just waiting on Tommy essentially.

    “We’ve just gotta do a few things to make sure it’s all perfect, but it’s very, very close.
    “I’m training, I’m getting ready for that fight, that’s what I want.”
    KSI’s manager Mams Taylor recently revealed the showdown had edged closer to fruition following a handful of changes to the initially proposed deal.
    He said: “We’ve gone back and forth and negotiated and now we’ve agreed to all the changes that they’ve requested.

    “I don’t think there’s anything more other than for the ink to dry for both guys to make this happen.”
    KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – insists a win over Fury will shatter the achievements of bitter rival Jake Paul.
    He said: “Because I know as soon as I beat Tommy Fury, Jake Paul’s whole career, his whole legacy’s in the bin, and I will be laughing.”
    Fury, 24, handed Paul his first professional loss in February with a split-decision victory in their Saudi showdown.
    And he’s vowed to put an end to the YouTube boxing scene by bouncing KSI from the ranks of the unbeaten.
    He told Sky Sports: “Everybody knows what’s next for me, it’s being teased at the minute.

    The Instagram influencer, who has 81,000 followers, bombarded the stars with persistent calls and messages.
    Sloan, who was seen partying in Marbella on Sunday night, was spared jail when she was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today.
    She was instead handed a 12 week sentence suspended for 18 months and told to pay the millionaire stars a total of £1,100 in compensation – £500 to Mount and £300 to Chilwell and Gilmour.
    The model was also handed a restraining order preventing her from contacting the footballing trio and will have to perform 200 hours of unpaid work.

    Sloan, who wore a white dress, headband and black jacket, asked her lawyer Michael Cogan to publicly apologise to Mount, Chilwell and Gilmour.
    The court was told by her mum, who describes herself on Facebook as a Reiki and Shamanic healer, that her daughter is “addicted” to social media.
    She previously admitted one count of harassment one of stalking and one count of stalking involving fear of violence or serious alarm or distress.
    The latter charge carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.
    Most read in Football
    Chair of the bench Alison Gowman branded the stalking campaign “sustained and deliberate” as she handed down her sentence.
    The court was told the influencer was invited to a party at Chilwell’s house after chatting to him over Instagram.
    She slept with Mount once after meeting him at the bash and the pair chatted “sporadically” for around six months until he cut things off.
    But Sloan then sent a string of messages to the star following the one-off tryst last year.
    She also changed her number 21 times when the footballer kept blocking her.
    Sloan sent Mount a screenshot of her paying £12.99 for a new number from Apple, saying: “I’m not buying food anymore so I can get more numbers.
    “I will be faster than you.”
    In another text, the model laid out a list of women’s names she claimed she had “found out about”.
    She then chillingly added: “I will find out everything.”
    Also also messaged saying she was “finding it really hard to move on”.
    She continued: “You must accept my apology and say sorry or you will meet a new character called devil baby.
    “Beware of devil baby Mason I can morph any second so let me apologise and make things right.”
    Not content with just messaging the Chelsea star, Sloan bombarded Gilmour with messages about Mount.
    She also made an Instagram account with the username DevilBaby_10, which she used to create collages of Chilwell with other women.
    The stalker, who previously revealed she raked in £50,000 eating Percy Pigs while naked, tagged his family and friends in the “completely fictitious” posts.
    In a statement, Mount told how he was left terrified Sloan would show up at the Chelsea training centre after he blocked her.
    He said: “I have repeatedly made it clear to her I no longer wish to hear from her and I have blocked her on multiple occasions and I believe this was a clear message.
    “I now believe she has an obsession and fixation with me and I don’t know what she would be capable of.
    “She knows my address and the address of my training centre.
    “Her behaviour has been erratic and I am worried that now she is unable to contact me she might turn up at the training centre and that is why I have now contacted the police.
    “I’m worried her persistent attempted to contact anyone I follow will ruin friendships and potential relationships.”
    While Gilmour said the stalking continued even after he moved to Brighton in September 2022 on a £9million deal from Chelsea.
    His new club put safety measures in place after he expressed his concerns over Sloan.
    Gilmour was also forced to delete all his friends and family from Instagram so she could not contact them.
    He said: “I have not been able to sleep and I have had to take sleeping tablets which has affected my performance.”
    The star added: “Being alone in a new town where I didn’t have any friends or family is very isolating.
    “This is a person I met once for a brief period of time.”
    In mitigation, Sloan’s lawyer said she was an “enterprising young woman” who was “dazzled” when she met Mount.
    Mr Cogan added: “The reality was as far as Mr Mount was concerned he never intended it to be a lasting relationship.
    “For someone like Ms Sloan she felt somewhat discarded and she wanted to know why.
    “She thought there was something there in circumstances where everyone else knew there was nothing.
    “She had been sucked into a world of instant gratification achieved only by being seen with other more people more successful than herself.
    “As a result of that she obsesses over the way she looks and how she feels other people view her.”
    The lawyer also said Sloan’s “isolation became complete” during Covid when she was living with her dad in an isolated area.
    He said she moved to London at the first given opportunity, where she now lives in a world where “superficial social connections have greater importance and replace the harsh reality of life”.
    Sloan admitted stalking Mount between June 19, 2022 to October 28 and Scots international Gilmour between September 10 2022, and October 28.
    She also pleaded guilty to harassing Chilwell between October 20 and 29.
