The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has lent his voice to a unique rendition of the rap anthem "Get Low," teaming up with US music sensation T-Pain in a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Priscilla Chan, on their cherished "dating anniversary." With the aid of Auto-Tune, Zuckerberg crooned over an acoustic guitar reboot of the song, originally a chart-topper for Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz in 2003, transforming it into a personal celebration.
"When I first met Priscilla at a lively college party, 'Get Low' was the soundtrack," Zuckerberg reminisced on his Instagram platform. "It's become our tradition to revisit this melody every year on our anniversary." The Meta mogul, now 40, somewhat humorously hailed the track as a "poetic masterpiece" under the moniker Z-Pain.
Chan, touched by the gesture, responded with warmth, calling it "so romantic" and adding, "Though physically, we might not be able to 'get low' quite like we did back then, our love has deepened, and I'm more grateful for it than ever." Zuckerberg's post was accompanied by snapshots capturing him and T-Pain, whose real name is Faheem Najm, in the studio, collaboratively crafting their musical love letter.
Najm himself echoed the excitement on his social media, announcing the arrival of "Z-Pain" with a touch of whimsy. Zuckerberg took the lead vocals on this unfiltered hip-hop journey, while T-Pain added ad-libs, harmonies, and a verse, blending their talents seamlessly.
This musical venture follows a surprise performance of Lil Jon's "Get Low" at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago three months prior, celebrating Kamala Harris's nomination as the party's vice presidential candidate.
Zuckerberg is known for his grand gestures of affection towards Chan. In August, he unveiled an intriguing statue of her, seemingly crafted from aged green copper and steel, by artist Daniel Arsham, captioning it, "Reviving the Roman custom of sculpting one's beloved."
