Timothée Chalamet Ends Rap Alter-Ego Rumours With a Viral Music Moment
For weeks now, the internet has been buzzing with one of the strangest celebrity rumours in recent memory: that Timothée Chalamet, the Oscar-nominated actor known for intense dramas and blockbuster films, was secretly living a second life as a masked UK rapper called EsDeeKid. The speculation took off fast, fuelled by social media sleuths who claimed the rapper’s eyes looked suspiciously like Chalamet’s. Add in the fact that EsDeeKid never fully revealed his face, and suddenly a full-blown conspiracy was born.
The rumours were allowed to simmer. When asked directly earlier this week, Chalamet offered nothing more than a teasing “no comment,” suggesting that clarity would come in time. That vague response only poured more fuel on the fire. Fans followed every interview, every post, and every lyric, convinced they were uncovering a carefully hidden alter ego.

Now, the mystery has officially been put to rest, and it was done in the most theatrical way possible. Instead of issuing a denial, Chalamet appeared alongside EsDeeKid himself in a new music video, confirming once and for all that the two are not the same person. The collaboration came in the form of a remix of EsDeeKid’s hit track “4Raws,” which had already climbed into the UK Top 40.
In the video, Chalamet cleverly leaned into the rumours before dismantling them. He first appeared with only his eyes visible, mimicking the rapper’s signature masked look. Moments later, the bandana was pulled down, revealing his face as he began rapping. One of his standout lines referenced both his ambition and his personal life, including a playful nod to his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, whose billionaire status was openly name-checked in the verse.
The video was filmed in a small convenience store in north London, giving it a gritty, grounded feel that contrasted sharply with Chalamet’s Hollywood image. EsDeeKid reposted the clip, sealing the joke and making it clear that the collaboration was intentional, tongue-in-cheek, and designed to end the speculation once and for all.
The internet reaction was immediate. Fellow artists and fans flooded the comments with laughter, disbelief, and praise. Some called it genius marketing, especially as Chalamet also slipped in multiple references to his upcoming film, “Marty Supreme,” extending an already clever promotional campaign.
In the end, what could have been dismissed as an absurd rumour was transformed into a viral moment. By embracing the joke rather than fighting it, Timothée Chalamet managed to shut down the conspiracy, entertain fans, and remind everyone that sometimes, the best way to silence speculation is to turn it into a performance.
