Mark Zuckerberg Celebrates Anniversary with T-Pain Collaboration
Facebook founder pays a heartfelt tribute to his wife through a cover of 'Get Low' on their dating anniversary.
In a delightful homage to his wife Priscilla Chan, Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook creator, has recorded a reworked version of the explicit rap hit "Get Low," featuring US rapper T-Pain. The couple celebrated their dating anniversary with a nostalgic nod to the song, which was playing during their first meeting at a college party 21 years ago. The track, originally by Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz, has been transformed into an acoustic rendition, with Zuckerberg using Auto-Tune, drawing attention to his playful take on music.
Zuckerberg shared this moment on social media, noting that listening to "Get Low" has become an annual tradition for the couple. He humorously referred to the song as a "lyrical masterpiece" and released his version under the stylized moniker Z-Pain. T-Pain, a well-known artist celebrated for popularizing Auto-Tune, joined Zuckerberg in the studio and later expressed on social media that "Z-Pain has arrived."
In a heartwarming response, Priscilla Chan described the surprise gesture as "so romantic," reflecting on their enduring love while playfully acknowledging the passage of time, stating, "Can’t get quite as low anymore but more in love and grateful for that love than ever." Along with his cover, Zuckerberg showcased photographs of their recording session, adding a personal touch to the experience.
This release follows a recent notable performance of the original by rapper Lil Jon at the Democratic National Convention, where he celebrated Kamala Harris's nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate. The unique celebration of love is not unfamiliar for Zuckerberg; just a few months prior, he gained attention for unveiling a peculiar sculpture of Chan, made from oxidized green copper and steel, likening it to ancient Roman marital traditions.
