Timothee Chalamet shuts down alter ego rumours, collaborates with rapper EsDeeKid

Timothée Chalamet ends fan theories he's rapper EsDeeKid by releasing a collaborative remix, showcasing his hip-hop skills amid Oscar campaign for Marty Supreme.

"My life is an opera, look at the Oscars, look at the groupies, look at the movies - Timothée Chalamet"

Washington DC, December 20

Actor Timothee Chalamet has seemingly put an end to online speculation linking him to British rapper EsDeeKid, while offering fans an unexpected twist -- a musical collaboration, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Chalamet and EsDeeKid shared a snippet of a remixed version of the track "4 Raws" on Instagram. The clip features an unmasked Chalamet confidently strutting alongside the still-obscured rapper, with the actor delivering rap verses that reference his upcoming film Marty Supreme, his public persona, and even his long-running nickname, Lil' Timmy Tim, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Trying to stack $100 million, girl got $1 billion, what the fuck what a wonderful feeling," Chalamet raps in the remix. He stays boisterous, flaunting about his A-list life as he raps, "My life is an opera, look at the Oscars, look at the groupies, look at the movies, look at the triple-A girl gon' choose me," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Speculation that Chalamet was secretly EsDeeKid had gained traction during the actor's Marty Supreme press tour, with fans pointing to similarities in voice, timing and public appearances. The latest collaboration appears to put those rumours to rest, while confirming the actor's involvement as a featured collaborator rather than a hidden alter ego.

Chalamet has previously spoken openly about his admiration for hip-hop, and his performance on the remix showcases a confident, if playful, delivery. While the verse appears tongue-in-cheek, it highlights the actor's long-standing interest in the genre.

The collaboration marks one of the more unconventional moments from Chalamet's ongoing promotional run for Marty Supreme. The actor is hoping to secure his first Academy Award after missing out last year for A Complete Unknown. Although he did not take home an Oscar, the film's soundtrack earned a Grammy nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.

While theories surrounding EsDeeKid now appear to have run their course, speculation around celebrity alter egos continues to circulate in Hollywood, with fans drawing connections between other stars and anonymous creative personas, as per the outlet.

The rumour was wild to begin with, but the collaboration is a smart PR move. Generates buzz for his film. Our Bollywood stars should take notes on this kind of innovative, cross-genre promotion.

Respectfully, the verse sounds a bit cringe. "Look at the Oscars, look at the groupies"... feels like he's trying too hard to be a 'cool' rapper. Should maybe stick to acting, which he's brilliant at. The collaboration itself is fun though.

As a fan of both his films and some UK rap, this is an unexpected but welcome mashup. It's lighthearted and doesn't take itself too seriously. The internet rumours were hilarious while they lasted!

Honestly, who has time for these alter ego rumours? 😂 But good on him for channeling that energy into a creative output. In India, if a star did this, the media would have a field day analysing it for weeks.

It's nice to see a young actor not being confined to one box. We need more of this playful energy. Reminds me of when some of our younger actors experiment with indie music projects.
