Ready for the collaboration no one expected (or maybe even wanted)? Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is testing out his vocal chops alongside T-Pain for a cover of Lil’ Jon’s “Get Low,” released under the name Z-Pain.
On the song, Zuckerberg translates Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz’s 2002 crunk classic into a tender acoustic ballad, singing, “To the windows, to the walls / ‘Til the sweat drop down my balls” — think of it as if the Plain White T’s recorded an R-rated ditty for a rom-com.
In a post on Instagram, he explained that he recorded the track as a tribute to his wife in honor of their anniversary. “‘Get Low’ was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party, so every year we listen to it on our dating anniversary,” he wrote. “This year I worked with @tpain on our own version of this lyrical masterpiece. Sound on for the track and also available on Spotify. Love you P.”
“Z-Pain has arrived 🔥 Get Low by @zuck and me out now 🎶,” added T-Pain on a separate Instagram post.
Zuckerberg and T-Pain initially teased the collaboration yesterday on IG stories, sharing a photo of them in the studio together. They’ve developed a friendship over the past few years, when the tech mogul appeared in the rapper’s livestreams in 2021. This past July, T-Pain gave him a Nappy Boy Meta chain, writing under one of Zuck’s posts, “Looks great on you buddy. Thanks for being a great friend.”
