Social media stars Logan Paul and KSI were in Toronto this past weekend for an event in promotion of their controversial Prime drink line, which attracted a massive crowd of fans to Yonge-Dundas Square.

Last week, YouTuber and boxer Logan Paul announced that he would be making a short stop in the city for the event alongside his business partner, KSI, with the first 2,000 people in attendance winning a free bottle from the beverage company.

Despite this, the promise of winning a free bottle from the drink line was enough to attract an enormous crowd to Yonge-Dundas Square, where Paul revealed that the company was in the midst of signing an unnamed Toronto Maple Leafs player.

Following all the commotion at the event, the social media phenomenons headed down to Scotiabank Arena to watch the Toronto Raptors face off against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Despite catching heat for the drink line, Paul has maintained that the company remains compliant with each country’s regulatory bodies.

“Perhaps you saw the news this morning, Complex, TMZ, Reuters, Forbes, and many more talking about how Prime Energy drinks were recalled in Canada,” Paul said following the recall.

“Our energy drink has caffeine in it; it’s an energy drink. And no, our low-sugar, low-calorie hydration drink doesn’t have caffeine in it.”
