NAIROBI, Kenya- Tech mogul by day, rapper by surprise? Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s co-founder, stunned fans with a playful twist to celebrate his 21-year relationship with wife Priscilla Chan.
On his social media platforms, Zuckerberg revealed a cover of Lil Jon’s early-2000s classic, Get Low, created in collaboration with none other than T-Pain, the king of Auto-Tune himself.
With a nostalgic backstory and a dose of humor, Zuckerberg proved that even tech titans can embrace their inner party anthem.
So, why Get Low? According to Zuckerberg, this isn’t just any chart-topping hit. In his post, he shared that the song holds a special place in his relationship timeline. Back in 2003, the track was blaring at a college party when Zuckerberg and Chan first crossed paths.
“21 years later, we’re still dancing together,” Zuckerberg wrote, dedicating the cover to his wife. It’s a far cry from his usual Silicon Valley persona, but a testament to the couple’s journey and a nod to the song that kicked it all off.
The internet couldn’t get enough of the unexpected collaboration. In the post, Zuckerberg cheekily introduced himself as “Z-Pain,” sharing behind-the-scenes snaps of him and T-Pain in the recording studio.
The original Get Low, released in 2003 by Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz featuring the Ying Yang Twins, became an iconic party anthem.
Its booming bass and unfiltered lyrics defined a generation of club culture. The new version? A humorous and heartfelt recreation that blends nostalgia with Zuckerberg’s playful side.
T-Pain’s signature Auto-Tune style adds an authentic touch, but the real star is Zuckerberg’s willingness to step outside his comfort zone. The internet, of course, had a field day, with reactions ranging from amused curiosity to outright delight.
While no one expected Zuckerberg to channel his inner Lil Jon, the cover has become an instant conversation starter. It’s not every day that Big Tech collides with hip-hop, and fans are here for it.
Zuckerberg’s anniversary tribute is more than just a viral moment; it’s a glimpse into his personal life and a testament to finding joy in unexpected places.
