"Murdered in the Car" - Timothee Chalamet Hilariously Recalls Interviewing Kendrick Lamar Amid Beef With Drake on Carmelo Anthony’s Podcast

Actor Timothee Chalamet had the pleasure of sharing his stories on Monday's episode of "7PM in Brooklyn." During the podcast, Chalamet recalled a story about his experience being with rapper Kendrick Lamar. The actor interviewed the artist ahead of his Super Bowl performance in New Orleans.

At that time, Lamar was in the middle of his beef with Canadian rapper Drake. In the podcast, he told former NBA star Carmelo Anthony about what went through his mind while being with the artist during a tense situation.

“The thing with Kendrick, I did it in the studio and it was kind of stiff and I went home a little sad, cause I was like, ‘Man, I feel like we really could have got a good rhythm and maybe he’s just in Super Bowl mode;,” Chalamet said (Timestamp:31:43). “And then he called and he was like, ‘Alright, let’s just meet you in a car and let’s just roll’.

Fortunately for Chalamet, things did not go out of hand during his time with Lamar.

Timothee Chalamet recalled his experience with the Knicks-Nuggets brawl with Carmelo Anthony

When Timothee Chalamet was a kid, he had the opportunity to watch the New York Knicks play against Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets. According to the actor's story, it was back in 2006, long before Anthony became part of New York's roster.

The game was on Dec. 16, and things took a turn late in the game. The Nuggets had a 119-100 lead with 1:15 left in the game. Knicks' Mardy Collins committed a hard foul on JR Smith. The two had to be separated by the officials. But it didn't end there. Nate Robinson started pushing Smith away, and it led to players from both teams getting involved.

Carmelo Anthony defended his teammate and got into a shoving fight with the other NBA players. It escalated when Smith threw the first punch at Robinson, and the others did the same.

Timothee Chalamet recalled seeing that moment as one of the first Knicks games he's been to.

“One of my first games, I was 10 years old. Denver Nuggets versus New York Knicks,” the 29-year-old said. "If you look at the footage, I snuck down with my buddy Brett. You can see the players getting [into the tunnel], and it’s very pixelated on the footage, but you can see a little kid going nuts. That was me.”

In the end, the brawl added something to Chalamet's experience.
