"If he wanted to, he would, billionaire edition"- Internet heaps praise as Mark Zuckerberg dedicates collab song with T-Pain to his wife
Mark Zuckerberg has been trending online for some time as he released a cover version of the single Get Low. Get Low is a song originally released in 2003 by a group called Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz and was even included on the soundtrack of their album, Kings of Crunk. The song also reached on top of the Billboard and other charts.
The cover song has been dedicated to Zuckerberg's wife Priscilla Chan on the occasion of their anniversary and Mark worked with T-Pain while creating the song, calling the duo Z-Pain.
The Facebook CEO even shared an Instagram post on November 14, 2024, featuring a few glimpses of the lyrics alongside a few more photos where Zuckerberg was spotted inside the studio with T-Pain, playing a guitar. There was also a video where T-Pain could be seen watching Mark Zuckerberg recording the song. The caption of the post read:
""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. Sound on for the track and also available on Spotify. Love you P."
Meanwhile, the clip and photos were also acquired by The Shade Room, who shared the same through Instagram. Netizens took to the comments section of the post to react to the same as one of them also wrote:
"If he wanted to, he would, billionaire edition."
Social media users were spotted praising the cover song below the post, with one stating that they wanted to be treated the same way Mark Zuckerberg treated Priscilla Chan. A user also appreciated Zuckerberg's "thought and effort," by calling it "sweet." Another individual stated that T-Pain is "making money every way."
Mark Zuckerberg announced the collaboration a few days ago
The cover song was teased by Zuckerberg through an Instagram Story shared on November 11, 2024. He added a photo where he was seen inside a recording studio with T-Pain. The duo was spotted wearing headphones and Pain was playing a keyboard. Furthermore, Zuckerberg wrote on top of the picture:
"It's happening guys. It is time."
Mark Zuckerberg also played the acoustic guitar in the collaborative track and his Instagram post on November 14 included a cover photo where he was standing with T-Pain, with the pair holding guitars in their hands. A warning of explicit content was added on top of the cover, which was titled Z-Pain.
According to Atlanta Black Star, Zuckerberg and T-Pain have shared a close friendship over the years as they had once appeared together during a public video conference in August 2022. They had a conversation about social media algorithms and changes to Instagram. T-Pain had also expressed gratitude to Zuckerberg for speaking to him. The latter replied:
"I appreciate you doing this as a public service announcement."
Back in July this year, Mark Zuckerberg received a gold chain from T-Pain and he displayed the same in an Instagram video. He thanked T-Pain for the gift and added:
"Perfect opportunity to show how the new Segment Anything AI research model we're releasing today can track different objects in the same video. Lots of fun video effects will be possible with this."
The 40-year-old's wife Priscilla is known for her work as a philanthropist and the duo have been married for around 12 years. They are the parents of three daughters, Maxima, August, and Aurelia.
