It is reported that the incognito scouse rapper EsDeeKid has signed a $30M record deal with Capitol records.
If these rumours are true then this deal will be worth 50% more than Central Cee’s reported deal which is said to have been $20M.
Regardless of the rumours 2025 has been a crazy year for the Liverpool rapper as his breakout hit ‘Phantom’ has garnered over 135M streams overall.
EsDeeKid also has dropped the ‘4 Raws’ remix with actor Timothee Chalomet, who many thought was EsDeeKids true identity.
Many fans online have noted that this deal could come with heavy stringent clauses.
Some other fans have noticed how black British artists in the UK Underground scene are undervalued and haven’t been offered such heavy sums:

Neither EsDeeKid nor Capitol has confirmed any of this information at the time of writing.
