"She's not at all comfortable": Netizens react as Elton John gives Lola Young his house keys following chart bet

Elton John followed through on a promise to Lola Young. After declaring on his Apple Music show that her single "d£aler" was destined to top the charts, John said he would bet his house on it. The song has yet to reach the No. 1 spot. However, instead of retreating, Elton John handed the keys to his home to Lola Young.

This was captured in a video where John was standing alongside Young. He said:

"If your single did not get to No. 1, I would give you the keys to my house."

Lola Young replied:

"Yeah, I know, I have been waiting."

Elton John then joked about asking to stay over, and Lola Young quipped back that the place was now hers. Fans reacted to this, saying:

"Ahh my god.. she is not at all comfortable on this side! He should feel the discomfort she gives off."

Fans soon weighed in on the comment section of the X post as they shared their thoughts on the matter. Below are some of their remarks:

"While Elton John praised Lola Young's single "D£aler" and jokingly bet his house on it hitting number one, he then gave her the keys to his home. The claim originated as a joke by Young herself and circulated on social media. Here's a breakdown of the story: Elton's prediction: During an interview on his Apple Music show Rocket Hour in July 2025, Elton John told Lola Young that her track "D£aler" was an "unbelievable" smash and "the biggest smash I've heard in years". He famously added, "I bet my house that that's a number one single".", detailed a netizen.

"Do yall know what it means to get the Lola Young seal of approval??? Elton John's old a*s is here to stay!", joked another.

"Elton John literally handed Lola Young the keys to his house after losing a bet on her single hitting #1. Imagine being so rich you gamble MANSIONS like pocket change while fans can’t even pay rent.", noted a third.

Others also chimed in:

"Elton John handing Lola Young the keys to his house after losing a bet over her single “Dealer” hitting #1 has to be one of the wildest and most legendary stories in music right now. It says so much about the faith he had in her talent and also how unpredictable the music world can be. Lola has been grinding for years, building her sound, and for a young artist to not only top the charts but also win a playful bet against someone as iconic as Elton John makes the moment even sweeter. It’s the kind of full circle story that feels like history in the making the legend recognizing the next generation, putting respect on her name, and doing it in a way that fans will never forget. This is not just about a number one single, it’s about a passing of the torch moment in music culture.", penned a fan.

"Elton: iconic musician. Lola: now also iconic keyholder. 😂😂", commented another.

Lola Young's third album, I'm Only F**king Myself, was released on September 19, 2025. To support the new album, she has scheduled a run of shows across the UK, North America, Latin America, and Europe. A complete trek itinerary is as follows:
