Timothée Chalamet has collaborated with UK rapper EsDeeKid on a remix of the track '4 Raws', putting to rest online rumors that the actor was the mysterious artist in disguise. The surprise release, accompanied by a music video, arrived on December 19, 2025, coinciding with promotions for Chalamet's new film Marty Supreme. In his verse, Chalamet references his personal life and career while nodding to his early rapping days.
Rumors began circulating in November 2025 that Timothée Chalamet, the Oscar-nominated actor known for films like those from A24, was secretly the Liverpool-based rapper EsDeeKid. The speculation arose from scant evidence: Chalamet's attendance at a concert by Fakemink, a collaborator of EsDeeKid; his fondness for hip-hop; and the idea that he might adopt a Scouse accent for a drill persona. EsDeeKid, who conceals his identity with a balaclava, had gained attention with tracks like 'Bally', 'LV Sandals', and 'Phantom' from his debut album Rebel, which charted at No. 131 on the Billboard 200.
Chalamet, who rapped as a child under the alias Lil Timmy Tim and was once 'knighted' by Lil B, leaned into the buzz during a UK radio interview last month. 'I got no comment on that… All will be revealed in due time,' he told Heart Radio while promoting Marty Supreme. True to his word, on December 19, 2025, Chalamet appeared on the '4 Raws' remix, delivering verses that showcase his lyrical flair.
In the track, he raps: 'It’s Timothée Chalamet chillin’, tryna stack a hundred million/ Girl got a billion/ What the f—, what a wonderful feeling,' alluding to his relationship with Kylie Jenner. He also plugs his upcoming film: '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/ Look at my haters, man, they wanna sue me.' Additional lines include 'Got model bitches in Peckham/ I’m Ryan Reynolds in Wrexham/ I’m having fun just sexting,' blending humor and bravado.
The music video features the duo moving from a kitchen to the backseat of a Rolls-Royce Wraith under the stars, rapping together. This collaboration has boosted streams for EsDeeKid's Rebel album and marks a playful extension of Chalamet's global promo tour for Marty Supreme. While sources differ slightly on Rebel's release—June versus November—the remix underscores Hollywood's innovative marketing amid debunked conspiracies.
