Is Timothée Chalamet Secretly Rapper EsDeeKid? He Says…

Currently, the mystery behind rapper EsDeeKid’s identity reigns supreme. 

Many fans of Timothée Chalamet have noticed a strong resemblance between the masked musician—who only shows his eyes during performances—and the actor known for Marty Supreme.

When asked about the rumors on Britain’s Heart Breakfast radio show on December 11th, he stated, “I have no comment,” and repeated, “I have no comment.”

Timothée’s hesitant answer caught the attention of show hosts Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, who reacted with surprise. He claimed he could explain in just two words, but then had trouble actually saying them.

I’ve been waiting ages for answers, and he finally said everything would come out eventually. Then, with a little chuckle, he admitted that his earlier response – just a couple of words – hadn’t exactly been a complete explanation!

Timothée is being careful not to give away too much about a possible secret, but dedicated fans might remember his past as “Lil Timmy Tim.” This nickname came from a middle school project that unexpectedly became popular as he became famous.

He chuckled to Jamie and Amanda, saying, “‘Lil Timmy’ just doesn’t sound right. It evokes a completely different image.”

Lil Timmy also didn’t reveal what he’s planning to get his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, for Christmas. He did say his Christmas tree was already decorated, but he hasn’t finished his shopping yet.

The beauty mogul and actor arrived at the event wearing matching orange outfits and were visibly happy, holding hands as they posed for photos on the carpet.

Timothée sees a connection between the film’s story of a table tennis player becoming famous and his own quick rise to success in Hollywood.

He told The Hollywood Reporter that this role felt the most authentic he’s ever played. He explained that it connected him to who he was before becoming an actor – someone who actively worked towards their goals. Unlike some who find success easily, he said, he had to put in a lot of effort – ‘the 10,000 hours’ – to achieve his ambitions.

“She will see,” he shared of her potential present. “It’ll be good.”

The 29-year-old also planned to get some shopping done during his trip to London, where he was promoting his new film, Marty Supreme, which comes out on Christmas Day.

Timothée also mentioned he was planning a trip to his favorite chocolate shop, and that he wanted to pick up some local gifts for his friends and family.

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner generally keep their relationship private, but they publicly showed their connection at the Los Angeles premiere of Timothée’s film on December 8th.

The beauty mogul and actor arrived at the event wearing matching orange outfits and were visibly happy, sharing a close moment on the red carpet.

Watching Timothée in this film about a table tennis player becoming a huge star really resonated with me. It feels so much like his own story – how quickly he’s become a massive name in Hollywood! It’s like watching his own ascent mirrored on screen.

He told The Hollywood Reporter that this role felt the most authentic he’s ever portrayed. He explained that it connected him to who he was before becoming an actor, stating that unlike some, he didn’t fall into success.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet began dating rumors in April 2023, shortly after she ended her relationship with Travis Scott, the father of her two children, Stormi (born in 2018) and Aire (born in 2022).

In August 2023, TopMob News reported that Kim Kardashian and Timothée Chalamet were still dating, even though rumors suggested they had broken up.

Following a public display of affection at Beyoncé’s birthday concert in Los Angeles in September 2023, the couple were also seen together at a glamorous dinner during New York Fashion Week.

Later that same month, the couple attended the U.S. Open in New York. 

It was love-all at the US Open in September 2023. 

Timothée recently joked with GQ about privacy, responding with laughter when Kylie’s celebrity status came up in the conversation.

“This reminds me of that recent South Park episode with the Worldwide Privacy Tour,” he said, referencing the show’s parody of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. “Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you’re trying to live a private life.”

Despite not walking the red carpet as a couple, they appeared happy and affectionate on their date to the 2023 award show.

It’s Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. They both attended the Saturday Night Live after-party separately, following Timothée’s hosting gig on the show in November 2023.

What award show? 

Okay, seriously, the Golden Globes were basically just for Timothée and Kylie last night! It felt like the whole night was a camera focused on them kissing, and honestly, I lived for it. And the best part? No one was trying to spread any negativity or rumors – it was just pure, perfect Timothée-and-Kylie happiness, and I’m completely obsessed!

Kylie accompanied Timothée to the Golden Globes for the second year in a row in 2025. Timothée was nominated for Best Actor in a Drama for his role as Bob Dylan in the film A Complete Unknown. Although Adrien Brody took home the award, Timothée found success with Kylie, as the two enjoyed a romantic connection.

Although Kylie didn’t accompany Timothée to the 2025 Oscars—where he was nominated for playing Bob Dylan in the film A Complete Unknown—she did join him at the Vanity Fair after-party.

The pair went to see the Los Angeles Lakers play the Minnesota Timberwolves in Los Angeles in April 2025.

Timothée and his partner made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome, where Timothée received a special acting award.

Kylie’s sister, Kendall Jenner, accompanied her on a date to see the New York Knicks play the Boston Celtics at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Kylie visited Timothée in Budapest in August 2025 while he was filming Dune: Part Three. They took pictures with fans while out at a coffee shop.
