Internet Falsehood; I’m unsurprised at the lack of source.
I’ll counter your baseless claim with a contradicting one that’s at least easier to verify.
The Lawsuit (True): In 2014, Red Bull settled a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. for ~$13 million. The lawsuit claimed the company’s marketing was deceptive because the drink doesn’t actually provide the physical or mental “boost” promised by the “Gives You Wings” slogan beyond what a cup of coffee would provide.
The Slogan Change (False): Red Bull did not change the spelling because of the lawsuit. In fact, Red Bull had been using the stylized “wiiings” in various marketing campaigns and its logo long before the 2014 settlement.
I did a quick search before posting that and many sources say they changed it because of the lawsuit. I don’t really care about this enough to look into it further
They already got sued and had to pay millions. That’s why the slogan says “wiiings” instead of “wings” nowadays

But enough to keep your misinformation up in order to look better than you are ;)
I’m not saying those sources are correct?
Wrong.
It’s “verleiht Flüüügel” in the original German sloga, and the English version was aligned to that.
