Is rapper EsDeeKid really Timothee Chalamet - or is it a conspiracy theory?
Liverpool performer EsDeeKid released his debut album this year. He currently has 602k Instagram followers and an impressive 9.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
Because EsDeeKid only reveals his eyes to his audience, speculation has bubbled online about the rapper’s true identity. When TikTok user KJ Freeman posted what she called the “mystery of the century”: Is EsDeeKid Timothée Chalamet? - her post claiming to link the rapper with the New York actor gained 1.6m views.
When explaining her theory, Freeman compared EsDeeKid and Chalamet’s hazel-coloured eyes and full brows. Users then posted side-by-side comparisons, placing one face above another in videos. They also found photographs of both wearing the same luxury brand scarf.
Alongside eye comparisons and the scarf, Freeman also mentioned Chalamet was spotted at the London concert of performer Fakemink, who EsDeeKid has collaborated with.
Chalamet also has a history of doing the unexpected, from entering lookalike competitions of himself, to his Saturday Night Live skit as a rapper. His acting work has also called for musical abilities when he played singer-songwriter Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, so it’s not impossible that this could be another of his projects.
Neither Chalamet nor EsDeeKid have publicly commented on the theory, but comments on recent posts on both their official Instagram accounts have included comparison GIFs. Some TikTok posts comparing the two have gained thousands of likes, and users on Reddit have gone as far as comparing the tops of their noses and the veins in their hands for similarities.
Unless there is an official announcement that they are one and the same, there is no evidence to support the theory.
This particular conspiracy theory seems harmless. Timothée Chalamet putting on a Liverpudlian accent to live out dreams of being a secret rapper is probably not going to hurt anyone - but if it were true, fans of either him or EsDeeKid may feel they have been misled.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
