Timothée Chalamet has addressed rumors that he is the anonymous rapper EsDeeKid by appearing with him in a video. Speculation had suggested that Chalamet was leading a double life, as the rapper only shows his eyes.
Collaboration details and video content
Chalamet, who previously used the name Lil Timmy Tim, released a video where he raps alongside EsDeeKid on a remix of the song “4Raws.” The video begins with Chalamet covering his face, mimicking EsDeeKid’s style.
In the clip, Chalamet raps lines like, “It’s Timothée Chalamet chillin’, tryin’ to stack $100 million,” and references his partner Kylie Jenner, saying, “Girl got $1 billion.” It was filmed at Andover Minimarket Off Licence in London.
Rumors and public reactions
Fans had speculated about a connection between Chalamet and EsDeeKid, especially after the BBC questioned Chalamet about it. They both remained quiet as EsDeeKid’s music rose in popularity, and Chalamet promoted his new film.
The collaboration quickly gained traction online, with comments from other artists like Central Cee and Tinie Tempah praising the fusion. They highlighted how unlikely it was for Chalamet to assume both identities, given EsDeeKid’s distinct accent.
Marketing and future implications
Chalamet’s appearance in the music video serves not only to dismiss the rumors but also to promote his upcoming film, titled “Marty Supreme.” This strategic marketing has coincided with EsDeeKid’s rise in the UK charts.
Fans are excited about the video and its implications for future collaborations as both artists build their brands in the entertainment industry.
