EsDeeKid has never revealed his identity or anything connected to his personal life and keeps his face covered by masks at all time.
However, social media became awash with theories that the rap star was actually New Yorker Timothee thanks to a series of coincidences.
Now, the Wonka star has addressed the rumours for the first time in an interview on BBCRadio One with Greg James ahead of the release of his next movie, Marty Supreme.
Greg simply started by saying the name EsDeeKid to Timothee to which he quickly said: “No comment.”
The actor then coyly added with a smirk upon his face: “All will be revealed in due time.”
Greg then went on to explain the theory and showed Timothee images of EsDeeKid in which his piercing blue eyes, which bear a striking resemblance to the Dune actor’s, could be seen through gaps in his masks.
The radio host asked Timothee if he agreed that they were “beautiful eyes”, with the actor simply replying: “Yes.”
Greg then asked once again if the star was him leaving Timothee to repeat: “All… will be revealed in due time.”
Little is known about EsDeeKid but he began to emerge in 2023 and achieved recognition for his 2024 song Bally.
He previously revealed he still lived in the council house he grew up in.
His debut album, Rebel, released this June has become one of the most popular hip-hop albums of the year after reaching the top ten in the UK as well as charting in America and Australia.
Speculation that Timothee is behind the mask gained traction online last month.
“Their eyes are extremely similar, I haven’t seen anything like it,” wrote one user on Reddit earlier this month.
While another user was convinced they have the same hands: “Guys i did a huge analysis looking at pics of Timothy’s hands VS Esdee kids hands. Same exact hands. Same vein placement and everything. I should make a video about it because it’s literally proof.”
Their similar fashion sense has also been used as a way of comparison between the two.
Timothee is currently in the UK ahead of the release of his new movie, Marty Supreme.
He was seen getting cosy with girlfriend Kylie Jenner at the launch of the film earlier this week where they coordinated in matching orange Chrome Hearts outfits.
The couple have been dating for almost three years having first been linked in April 2023 but have often kept their romance private and under wraps.
