Source claims Kylie Jenner has 'ripped' ex-boyfriend Travis Scott's idea of hard seltzer out of 'spite'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kylie Jenner is accused of ripping the idea of Travis Scott’s line of hard seltzers as the former lovers are all set to launch their respective brands of alcoholic beverages just days within each other.

Sources close to Travis have claimed that Kylie not only “ripped his idea” but is also launching her line of beverages out of “spite”.

Travis Scott accuses Kylie Jenner of ripping his idea

Kylie, 26, recently announced through an Instagram post that she is launching her hard seltzer brand ‘Sprinter’ on March 21. Previously, Travis, 32, announced that he was bringing back his hard seltzer line which will hit the shelves on March 15.

As the two exes are at loggerheads with each other through their brands, sources close to the ‘Trance’ singer are accusing Kylie of ripping his idea.

The insider recently shared with Daily Mail, “Kylie ripped his idea plain and simple,” before adding, “It wasn’t until they split that she got serious about this and she did it out of spite.”

As per sources, the businesswoman, famous for her brands like Kylie Cosmetics, and Kylie Baby, filed for trademarking ‘Kylie Jenner’ for several items in June 2019. The list of items includes “spirits; liquor; wine; alcoholic cocktail mixes; prepared alcoholic cocktail and prepared wine cocktails.”

The source, however, added that the application to trademark Sprinter wasn’t filed until February 2023.

Us Weekly reported that the ‘Sicko Mode’ rapper and the mother-of-two broke up during the holiday season of December 2022-January 2023. 

The insider added that Kylie filed trademark applications for several other ventures including restaurants, bars, and cocktail lounges, to jewelry, clothing, rugs, and baby accessories, as well as toys, vitamins, supplements, and non-alcoholic cocktails and beverages.

The insider commented, “She requested a trademark for dozens of products - leaving it open to creating any kind of business she wanted in the future.”

Kylie Jenner announces her hard seltzer brand Sprinter

Kylie announced the launch of her hard drink brand on Tuesday, March 5, by posting a video of herself with ‘Sprinter’ on Instagram.

‘The Kardashians’ star, who is worth an estimated $1 billion announced the drink and said, “Sprinter is my answer to the growing consumer demand for quality canned cocktails.”

She continued, “Not only does Sprinter have a unique bold branding that captures the feeling of fun with your friends, it is also the best-tasting vodka soda I've ever tried – and I've tried a lot.”

Travis’s cocktail brand ‘Cacti’ was initially launched in March 2021, after the trademark application was filed in June 2020. The rocker’s hard seltzer brand witnessed a successful run for seven months. Following the Astroworld Festival crowd crush, production was stopped for the beverage.

The rocker is reviving the brand and the revamped ‘Cacti 2.0’ is hotting the shelves on March 15. 

Following Kylie’s announcement, Travis seemed to have shaded the ‘Sprinter’ brand as he posted a picture with two cans of Cacti and wrote, “Nothing better.”
