Overview
- Asked on Heart Breakfast on Dec. 11 if he is the masked rapper, Chalamet said, "I got no comment on that," then added, "All will be revealed in due time."
- EsDeeKid remains anonymous, claims Liverpool roots, performs in a balaclava, and released the album Rebel in June 2025, drawing over 11 million monthly Spotify listeners.
- The rapper has not addressed the speculation, and a 2026 tour through North America and Australia has been announced by his camp.
- Reporting has flagged a key conflict for the theory, with EsDeeKid performing in Milan on Oct. 9 as Chalamet appeared at a New York screening hours later.
- Speculation grew from visual comparisons of their eyes, sightings of a similar skull-print scarf, Chalamet’s August visit to collaborator Fakemink’s show, and his past teen rap persona Lil Timmy Tim.
