Timothee Chalamet U.K. Rap: Is He the Mysterious EsDeeKid?
The rumor mill is buzzing with speculation that actor Timothée Chalamet might be the mysterious U.K. rapper known as EsDeeKid. This speculation began recently when TikTok user KJ.Freeman shared a video, suggesting Chalamet could be behind the rapper’s identity. EsDeeKid has gained attention for his tracks like “LV Sandals” and has seen popularity on platforms like TikTok.
Unpacking the EsDeeKid Rumor
The evidence linking Chalamet to EsDeeKid is tenuous at best. Both share a distinct eye shape, but that’s where the similarities largely end. EsDeeKid always appears in a balaclava, obscuring his features, complicating any visual comparison.
Recent Activities Spark Speculation
The rumors gained traction after Chalamet was spotted attending a Fakemink concert in London. TikToker KJ.Freeman questioned why he would engage in such an activity if he were not pursuing a secret music career. According to Freeman, the idea of Chalamet adopting a Scouse accent to transition into a U.K. drill rapper aligns with his artistic interests.
EsDeeKid’s Musical Presence
- Debut and Influences: EsDeeKid has a Bandlab profile that highlights influences like YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Xxxtentacion.
- Social Media Activity: He began posting on Tumblr in June 2024 and has only recently started reviewing films on Letterboxd.
Despite the fervent discussions online, neither Chalamet nor EsDeeKid has commented on the rumors. Chalamet’s representative did not respond to inquiries from Rolling Stone, and EsDeeKid’s social media posts have remained silent on the matter.
The Impact of the Speculation
Both figures’ mysterious silence may be beneficial. EsDeeKid’s upcoming tour in North America and Australia, which was recently promoted on his Instagram, is likely to attract additional attention and ticket sales. The crossover between Chalamet’s film career and EsDeeKid’s emerging music scene may offer a unique blend of fandoms.
Regardless of the truth behind the rumors, Chalamet’s past performances, including comedic rap roles on SNL, showcase his flair for music. Whether he’s EsDeeKid or not, the speculation continues to engage fans and generate conversation.
