BREAKING: Beyonce Shoots Down U.K. Top 10 Debut With Offset Drops Thousands At Casino Amid Cardi B Reunion Rumors

Beyoncé holds all the cards as “Texas Hold ‘Em” blasts into the U.K. top 10.

With that fast start, the pop superstar bags a 22nd U.K. top 10 single. Act II will mark Bey’s eighth studio record, four of which have gone to No. 1 in the U.K.

Three cuts from Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 1 (YZY) fly into the Official Chart – the maximum allowed from any one album. All crack the top 20, led by “Carnival” (at No. 12), “Burn” (No. 17) and “Back To Me” (No. 18).

At the top of the tally is Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” (Republic Records), which logs a seventh straight week at No. 1. With its parent album climbing to the summit of the Official U.K. Albums Chart, Kahan has his first career U.K. chart double. A new edition of the Stick Season album yields the track “Forever,” which arrives at No. 31 for his fifth U.K. top 40 single.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Saltburn-powered “Murder On The Dancefloor” (Polydor) holds at No. 2 on the Official Singles Chart, less than 600 combined units ahead of Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” (Warner Records), the OCC reports. “Beautiful Things” lifts 5-3, a new peak position for the 21-year-old Washington-born singer-songwriter.

Also on the rise is YG Marley’s “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” (YG Marley Music), up 9-5. That’s a career high for Marley, the grandson of the late, great Bob Marley and son of Ms. Lauryn Hill.

English singer and TV presenter Wes Nelson enjoys a top 40 debut with “Abracadabra” (Moor), his collaboration with homegrown R&B favorite Craig David. It’s new at No. 37, following the pair’s live performance on ITV’s Love Island All Stars, for Nelson’s fourth U.K. top 40 single and David’s 26th.

Finally, Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” (Rhino) returns to the top 40 following her rare performance of the ‘80s hit at the 2024 Grammy Awards. “Fast Car” reenters at No. 38, after Chapman and country star Luke Combs performed the song on the Grammys on Feb. 4, marking Chapman’s first live television appearance since 2015. Originally released in 1988, “Fast Car” reached its peak of No. 4 in 2011, and has been introduced to country audiences by Combs’ faithful rendition which appeared on 2023’s Gettin’ Old and became a U.S. hit.

Offset Drops Thousands At Casino Amid Cardi B Reunion Rumors

It’s no secret that Cardi B and Offset’s breakup was pretty messy. After sharing the news in December, the femcee immediately took to social media to put her former man on blast. What actually led to the split has yet to be confirmed, but fans had been under the impression that the duo wasn’t on the best of terms up until she announced that they slept together on New Year’s Eve.

At that point, supporters were left more confused than ever. The “Bongos” performer promptly addressed speculation that they were back together, however, insisting that she was still single.

Flash forward to last week, when reunion rumors reignited after they were spotted at Carbone on Valentine’s Day. While the ex-pair seemingly staggered their entrances to the Miami restaurant, they left in the same car, making it clear that they had spent the romantic holiday together.

Only days after the apparent date night, Offset appears to have spent his weekend alone, gambling in Florida. TMZ got footage of the performer playing cards at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL last night (February 17), reportedly dropping at least a few grand. It’s possible that Offset was trying to win back some of what he lost on his Super Bowl bet. He reportedly put $1 million on the San Francisco 49ers, which obviously didn’t work out in his favor.

Either way, things are looking up for Offset overall, as his eagerly-anticipated Set It Off tour is quickly approaching. The Georgia-born artist will kick things off in Philly at the beginning of March. He’ll also be joined by Skilla Baby, SleazyWorld Go, and YRN Mango Foo. What do you think of Offset being spotted at a casino in Florida gambling alone? How about rumors that he and Cardi B could have gotten back together? What about his massive Super Bowl bet?
