Timothée Chalamet Raps With EsDeeKid on ‘4 Raws Remix,’ Nodding to Rumors the Rapper Is His Alter Ego

For weeks, rumors have swirled that the masked Liverpool rapper EsDeeKid is a secret musical project of actor Timothée Chalamet. The speculation has now culminated in an official collaboration, with Chalamet appearing on both the song and music video for EsDeeKid's "4 Raws Remix." This move directly acknowledges the intense online detective work and media headlines linking the two, though it stops short of confirming their identities are one and the same. The rapper's eyes remain obscured in the video, leaving room for doubt and further fueling the intriguing narrative of a Hollywood A-lister's covert UK rap career.

In the video, Chalamet playfully engages with the alter-ego rumors. He begins with a bandana covering the lower half of his face, pulling it down as he launches into his verse. The actor, seen in a kitchen and a limousine alongside the shrouded EsDeeKid, raps, "It’s Timothée Chalamet chillin’, tryin’ to stack $100 million / Girl got a billion / What the fuck, what a wonderful feeling." His lyrics include multiple shoutouts to his upcoming film, "Marty Supreme," and a veiled reference to his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. Industry observers note that such a meta, rumor-embracing stunt is a modern promotional tactic, blurring the lines between art, persona, and publicity to generate maximum buzz.

Chalamet, a long-avowed hip-hop fan, is currently promoting "Marty Supreme," a biopic where he portrays a fictional rock star. When directly questioned about the EsDeeKid rumors during a recent appearance on the UK's "Heart Breakfast" radio show, he offered a cryptic non-denial. "I got no comment on that," the actor stated. "Two words: All will be revealed in due time." This ambiguous response, typical for carefully managed celebrity mysteries, ensures the conversation continues. The strategic collaboration effectively leverages fan curiosity, guaranteeing that both the new track and Chalamet's film project remain firmly in the public eye.
