Two years ago, Timothée Chalamet and Pete Davidson went viral for their Saturday Night Live sketch portraying a pair of clueless SoundCloud rappers — Smoke Chedda Tha A$$ Getta and Guap Lord, respectively — otherwise known as Xan Mob, who perform their unbearable song “Yeet” during the show “Rap Roundtable” hosted by Ego Nwodim.

And, with Davidson no longer part of the SNL cast, Chalamet’s rapper returned for a “Rap Roundtable” panel honoring the 50th anniversary of hip hop that also included Mary J. Blige (Punkie Johnson), Rick Rubin (James Austin Johnson), and Dr. Cornel West (Kenan Thompson).

Clad in a white puffer jacket and sporting his signature face tattoo and pink hair, Chedda lamented the loss of his pal Guap, who got lost in the sauce while doing some fundraising for Eric Adams in Turkey — a nod to the New York City mayor’s current corruption probe.

When Chedda was asked about his favorite rappers, he responded, “I’d say me, Jason Derulo, Dixie D’Amelio, and what’s she called… that insurance girl… you know that thing where she like, ‘Nationwide is on your side!’”

Chedda reveals that he doesn’t know who Biggie Smalls is and only knows Dr. Cornel West from his cameo in The Matrix Revolutions. Before long, Chalamet’s Chedda is rapping his latest song “Cling, Cling, Cling” only to have West stop him mid-stream and spank him on the ass several times.

“Hey mom, can you call an Uber?” Chedda says to his mother over the phone in a wimpy voice, breaking character after his spanking. “I don’t like the Bronx at all.”
