Erling Haaland is a highly regarded soccer star; with the 23-year-old Norwegian professional footballer finding the net 36 times last season in just 35 appearances for Manchester City. He was very instrumental to City’s treble win.
It’s not unexpected that someone as competitive as Haaland would subtly ‘throw shade’ on another team whose most notable accomplishment last season was securing the second position in the Premier League standings.
Erling Haaland mocks KSI
KSI is a popular figure in the digital world. He is a renowned YouTuber, boxer, and entrepreneur with over 40 million YouTube subscribers. The digital influencer and entrepreneur is in a business partnership with Logan Paul, who is an active wrestler and an entrepreneur with a massive online following. Both parties have formed a partnership to invest in a range of sports drinks, drink mixes, and energy drinks called Prime.

Prime is a specialized hydration solution used in various sports. Apart from their sports hydration solution, there are other products, such as energy drinks and drink mixes, all produced by the brand.
Prime is the official sponsor of Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona. One may have noticed that Manchester City is not on the list, and this is probably why Erling Halland took a swing at KSI for making Prime available to Arsenal, whose primary claim to fame is finishing second in the Premier League table last season.
In the initial video, KSI can be observed minimizing Manchester City’s prospects of clinching the highly sought-after UEFA Champions League and the English Premier League titles. He seems to convey an opposing viewpoint regarding the possibility of Manchester City, the team represented by Erling Haaland, ever achieving any Champions League victory when in fact, they won it last season.
In KSI’s banter, “You’re gonna be scoring all those goals, and you’re gonna be trophyless this season, bro. You ain’t winning the Premier League, let’s be real. Man City have never won a Champions League, and even though they brought you, still ain’t winning the thing.”
Other soccer teams and players that represent Prime
According to Sportskeeda, earlier yesterday, an announcement was made revealing that football sensation Erling Haaland has been brought on board as an ambassador for the energy drink PRIME, which is associated with KSI and Logan Paul.
The announcement was made in a series of hilarious videos on social media, where Haaland can be seen standing alongside KSI and watching a video KSI had posted in March of 2023.
The future of hydration meets the future of Football 🤝🏼

Reiss Nelson, an Arsenal star, is another player who has been seen promoting Prime drink. KSI gifted him a box of Prime energy drinks, and he took to social media, where he posted a few bottles of Prime and captioned, “Shoutout, KSI unaaa”.
The most recent team to get endorsed by Prime is Bayern Munich; others include Arsenal and Barcelona. Have you tried Prime? What is your take on Haaland’s trolling? Share with us below!
