Mark Zuckerberg Celebrates Anniversary with a Musical Twist
Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire founder and CEO of Meta, has made headlines once again with his latest internet antics. This time, he serenades his followers with a unique rendition of the iconic party anthem “Get Low,” originally by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz. In a delightful twist, Zuckerberg collaborated with the talented artist T-Pain, who was not involved in the original recording, to create a new version of the song.
On Wednesday, Zuckerberg took to Instagram to commemorate the anniversary of his first meeting with his wife, Priscilla Chan. He shared a nostalgic post featuring a photo of the couple from their younger days, reflecting on their journey together. In his heartfelt caption, he wrote, “’Get Low’ was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party, so every year we listen to it on our dating anniversary. This year I worked with @tpain on our own version of this lyrical masterpiece.”
The post quickly garnered thousands of responses, including a warm message from T-Pain himself: “Happy anniversary! Thanks for letting me be a part of this,” accompanied by a flame emoji. Priscilla Chan also chimed in, humorously noting, “Can’t get quite as low anymore but more in love and grateful for that love than ever. Love you MZ.”
Zuckerberg’s post was a visual feast, showcasing lyrics from the song, an album cover featuring both artists holding acoustic guitars, and multiple snapshots from their studio sessions. Additionally, there was a fun photo of them riding bikes together, capturing a lighter side of the tech mogul.
In a playful touch, Zuckerberg revealed that their collaborative track is now available for streaming under the catchy name “Z-Pain.” This playful musical endeavor is part of Zuckerberg’s efforts to reshape his public persona, moving away from the stereotypical image of him in a hoodie—an impression solidified by films like “The Social Network.”
Previously, Zuckerberg has shared glimpses of his friendship with T-Pain, including a July Instagram video where he expressed admiration for a flashy chain necklace gifted to him by the artist, calling it “a vibe.”
This musical collaboration joins a series of quirky moments from Zuckerberg’s recent past, including a viral surfing video and a whimsical statue he commissioned of his wife. These instances have painted Zuckerberg as a more approachable and humorous figure, contrasting sharply with Elon Musk, the owner of X, who has recently aligned himself closely with President-elect Donald J. Trump. Despite this, Zuckerberg has also sought to maintain a favorable relationship with Trump.
While the anticipated “cage match” between the two tech titans did not materialize, the stage is set for Musk to respond creatively. Perhaps he will seek to outshine Z-Pain by covering another early 2000s hit, aiming for a musical showdown that could further entertain their respective audiences.
