Mark Zuckerberg Embraces Cringe Era With T-Pain Collab

Mark Zuckerberg released a bizarre cover of the classic crunk anthem “Get Low” to celebrate his anniversary and tapped 2000s hip hop legend T-Pain to sing alongside him for the track’s chorus.

“‘Get Low’ was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party, so every year we listen to it on our dating anniversary,” the billionaire Facebook founder wrote in a post on Instagram. “This year I worked with @tpain on our own version of this lyrical masterpiece.”

Both the Meta CEO and the “Buy You a Drank” singer shared photos of the duo in the studio, where Zuckerberg appeared to be strumming an acoustic guitar. The tech mogul appears wearing his now-infamous black T-shirt and gold chain, seemingly completing his streetwear makeover. In his Instagram Story, Zuckerberg posted wife Priscilla Chan’s reaction to the Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz cover, smiling awkwardly and obliging the billionaire when he asks her jokingly, “Is that the most romantic thing I’ve ever done?”

The duo’s collaboration is available to listen to on Spotify, with the artist listed as “Z-Pain.”

But hours later, T-Pain posted his own cryptic Instagram Story dismissing his critics. “It is impossible for some people to have fun,” the “Bartender” singer said. “I’ve learned how to not worry about what y’all are talking about.”

In a second post, he admitted he was talking directly about his new song with Zuckerberg. “Y’all don’t like when people have fun. Y’all don’t like when people do wholesome things, y’all don’t like when people do stuff for their wives.”

T-Pain then lambasted his haters to “go outside and f---ing look at things” instead of fixating on his work with Zuckerberg.

In a third story, the singer preemptively responded to more complaints that people don’t have free time to do such outdoor activities. “What the f--- you doin’ on your phone right now lookin’ at T-Pain?” he joked. “How the f--- did you just see all three of these videos?”

It’s not the first time a Zuckerberg made a questionable foray into recorded music. In 2022, Randi Zuckerberg released a series of baffling cryptocurrency-themed parody versions of Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and Adele’s “Hello.”
