After weeks of online speculation, Timothée Chalamet has officially stepped into the spotlight alongside masked UK rapper EsDeeKid, confirming that the viral mystery was more than just internet guesswork.
Social media users had been buzzing over EsDeeKid’s identity, noting the rapper’s resemblance, at least from what could be seen behind the mask, to the Oscar nominated actor. The rumors quickly snowballed, with fans theorizing that Chalamet, a well known hip hop enthusiast, was secretly behind the project or that EsDeeKid was part of an elaborate film promotion.
Chalamet added fuel to the fire last week when he playfully addressed the rumors during an appearance on the “Heart Breakfast” radio show. When asked directly about the speculation, he teased listeners by saying, “All will be revealed in due time.”

That moment arrived just over a week later. On social media, Chalamet and EsDeeKid jointly posted a video to Instagram revealing a remix of EsDeeKid’s hit track “4 Raws.” The clip confirmed what many fans had been hoping for, as Chalamet himself delivers a verse on the beat, fully embracing the collaboration.
The surprise drop has delighted fans of both music and film, blurring the lines between internet myth and reality and proving that the viral rumors were pointing toward something very real all along.
