Timothée Chalamet and EsDeeKid collab on ‘4 Raws’ remix amid alter-ego rumors

Timothée Chalamet surprises fans by appearing on EsDeeKid’s ‘4 Raws Remix’ fuelling chatter about their identity link

Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet has officially teamed up with the mysterious British rapper EsDeeKid for a remix of the viral track ‘4 Raws’ marking one of the most talked-about celebrity collabs of the season and addressing months of internet speculation that the two might actually be the same person. In the newly released music video for the remix, Chalamet appears alongside EsDeeKid, whose face is typically concealed with a mask, and delivers his own verse in a surprising blend of rap and playful self-reference.

The collaboration arrives amid a swirl of online theories suggesting Chalamet was secretly performing as EsDeeKid, largely because of physical feature comparisons and EsDeeKid’s anonymity. To play into the buzz, Chalamet leans into the fun by debuting his verse with partial disguise before revealing his face, and even name-checks his upcoming movie Marty Supreme as well as his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, with lines like ‘Girl got a billion.’

Fans on social feeds reacted with a mix of amusement and astonishment at the unexpected crossover. Commenters joked about Chalamet’s rap skills, celebrated the unpredictable marketing twist, and debated whether the video truly settles the identity question, especially since EsDeeKid’s masked persona remains hidden in parts of the clip. Some fans took the remix as a clever play on the rumors, while others doubled down on the conspiracy vibes.

The original song ‘4 Raws’ released earlier in 2025 by EsDeeKid, helped the UK rapper breakout with its gritty UK rap style and viral spread on platforms like TikTok. The remix, featuring Chalamet, adds a new layer of mainstream attention and may introduce EsDeeKid to audiences outside the underground scene.

Chalamet’s involvement reflects his eclectic career moves, combining film promotion with unexpected musical ventures. The actor has previously hinted at awareness of the EsDeeKid rumors in interviews but stopped short of confirming any connection, instead letting the collaboration speak for itself.
