Timothée Chalamet has credited rapper Lil B for knighting him as a major contribution to the launch of his successful acting career.The Academy Award-nominated actor was the latest guest to be interviewed by Nardwuar on YouTube and during the chat, Chalamet took a moment to give rapper Lil B a shout-out after he was asked about being knighted by him.“Lil B The Basedgod, I was telling this to Tyler, The Creator on set recently because Tyler had no idea I was knighted by Lil B, and then he said he could sense my aura and that it gave off somebody who had been knighted by Lil B,” he began.He continued: “Lil B is like a hugely formative artist in my life and career.

He dropped an album called ‘I’m Gay (I’m Happy)’ and the rollout was very ambiguous about his sexuality or the meaning of the album.

I was just inspired from the sense of ‘Wow, this guy is just doing whatever the fuck he wants,’ and it was very cool for me at the time and this genre of hip-hop that he was just all over the place.

Love Lil B, shoutout Lil B."Thank You Based God." Timothée Chalamet says his acting career took off once he was knighted by rapper Lil B at NYU.(.
