Speculation Builds Around Rumor That Timothee Chalamet Is Masked UK Rapper EsDeeKid
Viral online theories link the actor to an anonymous drill artist whose identity remains undisclosed
Online speculation has intensified around the theory that Timothee Chalamet may be secretly performing as the masked UK rapper EsDeeKid, whose recent rise on TikTok and the British charts has drawn significant attention.
The rumor began after a TikTok creator listed several perceived clues, including Chalamet attending a London concert connected to the rapper and his reputation for adopting accents and experimenting creatively with music.
EsDeeKid performs with his face concealed by a balaclava and maintains a sparse online footprint, factors that have fueled growing curiosity.
His tracks LV Sandals, Phantom, and 4 Raws have gained momentum across social media, and his anonymity has become a defining part of his appeal.
Some fans have highlighted similarities in the spelling of their names and other playful coincidences as potential evidence.
Digital profiles associated with EsDeeKid, however, present details suggesting he is an emerging artist rather than a Hollywood actor.
A Bandlab account from April 2024 lists musical influences such as YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Xxxtentacion, while additional profiles on Tumblr and Letterboxd date from mid-2024. A Cash App account under the name Damario Jones and a Tellonym page bearing no resemblance to Chalamet further indicate that EsDeeKid is likely a separate individual.
Neither Chalamet nor EsDeeKid has addressed the rumor publicly.
Requests for comment have received no response, and their silence has only amplified public interest.
The speculation coincides with EsDeeKid promoting newly announced tour dates in North America and Australia, heightening intrigue around his persona.
Whether the theory remains an internet curiosity or a clever boost to EsDeeKid's growing career, the attention reflects both the rapper's rapid ascent and Chalamet's ongoing cultural influence.
