Actor Timothée Chalamet has sparked buzz by referencing his girlfriend, billionaire Kylie Jenner, in a new rap song collaboration with U.K. artist EsDeeKid, fueling ongoing speculation that the rapper is his alter ego. The track, released on Friday, features Chalamet rapping about Jenner’s wealth and their relationship, while the accompanying music video playfully addresses the rumors.
The song, a remix of EsDeeKid’s ‘4 Raws,’ was released on December 19, 2025, with both the audio and a video shared on social media platforms. In his verse, Chalamet raps, ‘It’s Timothée Chalamet chillin’, tryin’ to stack $100 million / Girl got a billion,’ a clear nod to Jenner, who became the world’s youngest billionaire in 2020. He also mentions ‘the Triple A girl that chose me,’ further alluding to his partner. This marks a rare public comment from Chalamet about his relationship with the Kylie Cosmetics founder.
The collaboration comes amid weeks of speculation that EsDeeKid, a Liverpool-based rapper known for obscuring his face, is actually Chalamet’s musical pseudonym. Fans have pointed to similarities in their eyes, and the new video leans into this mystery. Chalamet opens his part wearing a bandana over the lower half of his face, mimicking EsDeeKid’s style, before revealing himself as he delivers his verse. This artistic choice has intensified discussions online about whether the actor has a secret side career in music.
Beyond the personal references, the song also serves as promotion for Chalamet’s upcoming film, ‘Marty Supreme,’ which he mentions multiple times in the lyrics. The actor is currently on a promotional tour for the movie, and he was recently asked directly about the alter-ego rumors during a radio appearance. His response, ‘I got no comment on that. All will be revealed in due time,’ added to the intrigue surrounding the collaboration.
The release timing is notable, as it follows recent events in Chalamet and Jenner’s relationship. Earlier in December, the couple attended the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Marty Supreme’ together in matching neon orange outfits, dispelling breakup rumors that had circulated after Chalamet missed Kris Jenner’s birthday party. A source cited his busy filming schedule for the absence, and the pair were seen celebrating Thanksgiving together, indicating their relationship remains strong.
The music video for ‘4 Raws Remix’ was reportedly filmed at Andover Minimarket Off Licence in north London, adding a gritty, authentic backdrop to the rap performance. EsDeeKid’s involvement, with his face still partially hidden, keeps the alter-ego theory alive, as the video does not definitively confirm or deny the speculation. Instead, it presents the collaboration as a playful exploration of identity and celebrity culture.
Industry observers note that Chalamet has long been a fan of rap music, and this foray into the genre aligns with his artistic interests. The track has garnered significant attention on social media, with fans dissecting the lyrics and video for clues. While it remains unclear if EsDeeKid is truly Chalamet, the collaboration effectively capitalizes on the rumor mill, generating buzz for both the song and the actor’s film projects. Looking ahead, the release may pave the way for more musical ventures from Chalamet or further collaborations with EsDeeKid. Whether as a one-time novelty or the start of a new creative outlet, it highlights the blurring lines between Hollywood and the music industry, keeping audiences engaged and speculating about what Chalamet might do next.
