Summary
- Chalamet feared for his safety during a car ride with Kendrick Lamar.
- Lamar was in the midst of a rap beef when Chalamet met him.
- Chalamet also recalled a childhood Knicks game brawl.
On a recent episode of the "7PM in Brooklyn" podcast, actor Timothee Chalamet recounted a startling experience involving rapper Kendrick Lamar. Chalamet described meeting Lamar in a studio and later in a car, feeling apprehensive due to Lamar's then-ongoing rap beef with Drake. The actor humorously recalled fearing he might be the subject of a grim news headline, "Actor Timothee Chalamet murdered in a car."
Fortunately, the encounter with Lamar, who was preparing for his Super Bowl performance, did not escalate into danger. Chalamet's appearance on the podcast also delved into his childhood memories, including a particularly memorable experience attending a New York Knicks game.
Chalamet vividly recalled being a 10-year-old spectator at a 2006 game between the Knicks and Carmelo Anthony's Denver Nuggets. He described the intense brawl that erupted late in the game, involving multiple players from both teams, and his excitement as he snuck closer to witness the chaos.
