Robbie Williams poised to launch his own brand of energy drinks to rival KSI’s Prime that’s sending Brits wild
ROBBIE Williams is poised to launch his own brand of energy drinks to rival KSI’s Prime that has been sending Brits wild.
The popstar filed a patent last month to trademark a range of his own energy drinks.
Application documents show his interest sits within a "powdered nutritional supplement energy drink mix, "electrolyte drinks for medicinal purposes" and "medicated mineral drinks", the reports.
The 48-year-old singer, who reportedly used to drink 20 cans of Red Bull a day, is set to be named Rude Pump - possibly a nod toward his 2006 album Rudebox.
A source says on the back of the success of Prime, drink businesses are appearing as a lucrative option for "showbiz folk".
They said: “Drinks are big business, especially when they can go viral on the internet.”
