Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> has released a rap collaboration with underground British rapper EsDeeKid,<\/a> bringing to an end online speculation that the two artists might be the same person.<\/a><\/p>\n

The actor posted the song, a remix of EsDeeKid\u2019s single \u201c4 Raws,\u201d on his social media accounts today.<\/p>\n

The new version features Chalamet rapping about his life in lines like: \u201cLil Timmy Tin \u2018bout 30\u201d, a reference to his upcoming birthday on December 27.<\/p>\n

He also raps \u201cgirl got a billion\u201d as a nod to his partner, Kylie Jenner,<\/a> and makes repeated reference to Marty Supreme<\/a>, the new film he stars in that will be released in the U.S. on Christmas Day and in the U.K. on Boxing Day.<\/p>\n

Last week, Chalamet refused to comment on the rumor that he was EsDeeKid.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI got no comment on that,\u201d he said on the British radio program Heart Breakfast. \u201cNo comment.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the hosts said that Chalamet and EsDeeKid had similar eyes, the actor reiterated that he had nothing to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got two words on that,\u201d he continued, before opening his mouth and hilariously hesitating to say anything. \u201cAll will be revealed in due time. That was a little more than two words.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then joked about being a rapper in his teens, Lil Timmy Tin, after a viral 2012 video showed him rapping on stage during an event at his New York City high school.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me tell you, Lil Timmy does not have the same ring to it,\u201d Chalemet said. \u201cLil Timmy sounds like something else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, rumors began to swirl about Chalamet being EsDeeKid, specifically because the two have similar eyes. In August, Chalamet furthered the speculation when he showed up at a show in London that featured rapper Fakemink, who appears in EsDeeKid\u2019s song, \u201cLV Sandals.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, EsDeeKid has kept his identity hidden, performing with a balaclava over his face. His real name and age are unknown. While his debut album only came out this year, he already has more than 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie, has already received rave reviews, with The Independent\u2019s Clarisse Loughrey giving<\/a> it four stars.<\/p>\n

\u201cChalamet jerks his limbs around and leans in hungry, and he has the same irresistible, volatile energy that drove those early Al Pacino performances,\u201d Loughrey wrote. \u201cThe way the camera closes in on pockmarked skin, an elegantly etched unibrow, and permanent wireframe glasses, only draws our attention to the actor\u2019s eyes, where, like Pacino, all the vulnerability lies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOff screen, the actor has wrestled in the public eye with the meaning of achievement (\u201cI want to be one of the greats,\u201d he said in an awards speech earlier this year),\u201d she added about Chalamet. \u201cAnd maybe it\u2019s because he sees a little of himself in Marty that he can understand that more fragile, sympathetic side to him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":361559,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,216],"class_list":{"0":"post-361558","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361558"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361558\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
