Summary
-
Timothée Chalamet and EsDeeKid officially proved they are separate individuals by appearing together in the “4 Raws (Remix)” music video
-
The rumors were fueled by the fact that EsDeeKid consistently hides his face, leaving only his eyes visible—which fans claimed were identical to Chalamet’s
-
The collaboration serves as a strategic marketing moment for Chalamet’s film Marty Supreme, while solidifying EsDeeKid’s status as a dominant force in the UK rap scene
For months, the internet has been convinced that Timothée Chalamet was moonlighting as the masked British rap sensation EsDeeKid. The conspiracy theory was built on a singular, striking piece of evidence: despite the rapper’s face being obscured by a balaclava, fans noted that his eyes, body type, and even his distinct mannerisms were a dead ringer for the Marty Supreme star. TikTok was flooded with side-by-side comparisons and AI “unmaskings,” turning a simple coincidence into one of the year’s most persistent musical memes.
On December 19, 2025, the theory was finally—and spectacularly—debunked. Chalamet chose to address the rumors not with a press release, but by jumping onto the official “4 Raws (Remix).” The release included a high-budget music video that effectively ended the “same person” speculation by featuring both the actor and the rapper on screen at the same time. The visual finds the duo trading bars in the back of a Rolls-Royce and on the streets of London, with Chalamet pulling down a bandana to reveal his face while standing directly beside the still-masked EsDeeKid.
The track itself is a masterclass in modern self-awareness. Chalamet leans into his “Lil Timmy Tim” roots, rapping, “It’s Timothée Chalamet chillin’, tryna stack a hundred million / Girl got a billion,” a clear nod to his partner, Kylie Jenner. He even references the rumors directly, poking fun at the idea of his double life while using the buzz to propel his upcoming film, Marty Supreme. While the remix has proven that they are two different people, the creative synergy between the two suggests that this “rap twin” collaboration is the start of a massive new chapter for both stars.
