The Unlikely Duo: Timothée Chalamet and Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl?
A TikTok Theory That’s Got Everyone Talking
In a bizarre turn of events, a TikTok video has convinced many that Timothée Chalamet might just make a surprise appearance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside Kendrick Lamar. But what’s the connection between these two seemingly disparate figures?
The Piano Line That Started It All
TikTok user @Katone proposes that Chalamet and Lamar’s collaboration stems from a shared musical thread. Both “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar and “Ballad of a Thin Man” by Bob Dylan feature the same piano line from Ray Charles’ “I Believe To My Soul”. This intriguing coincidence led Katone to dig deeper.
The Bob Dylan Connection
Bob Dylan’s “Ballad of a Thin Man” has long been shrouded in mystery, with Dylan himself refusing to reveal the song’s subject for fear of legal repercussions. Meanwhile, Drake is currently embroiled in a defamation lawsuit over “Not Like Us”. Could Chalamet, fresh from playing Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown”, make an appearance to perform the iconic piano sample?
The Unlikely Pairing
Timothée Chalamet is on a hot streak, with a string of successful projects and a growing fan base. His love for rap music, as revealed in a recent Nardwuar interview, makes a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar plausible. But would this high-profile performance be a step too far, even for the seemingly untouchable Chalamet?
The Possibilities Are Endless
Perhaps Chalamet will join Kendrick Lamar on stage to perform a nod to Bob Dylan, or maybe they’ll opt for a completely different approach. One thing’s for sure – the prospect of these two talents coming together is undeniably exciting. Will Chalamet’s allegiance to Kendrick Lamar seal Drake’s fate on Sunday? Only time will tell.
