We didn’t expect him to be a rap singer, but Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, wanted to surprise his wife, Priscilla Chan, by covering a song that is close to their hearts. Explanations.
Mark Zuckerberg, an unlikely rapper
The entrepreneur will probably never become a singer and that’s clearly a good thing. In any case, this is our feeling after listening to Get Low, a cover of the song by Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz with the Ying Yang Twins. The couple made up of Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan were formed at a university party where this title was played. Since then, and symbolically, they have listened to it together every year.
To better surprise her, the one we nicknamed “Zuck” wanted to push the song by proposing a rewrite with the rapper T-Pain. The lyrics are also quite vulgar as noted by our colleagues from TechCrunchbut it’s the intention that counts. The boss adds in his Instagram post:
“Get Low” was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party, so every year we listen to it on the anniversary of our meeting. This year I worked with @tpain on our own version of this lyrical masterpiece. The sound is available on Spotify. I love you P ❤️.
In any case, we will not have the opportunity to hear the sweet voice of the founder of Facebook as it is modified by autotune. Besides, and if you feel like it (this is in no way an obligation, think carefully), we let you listen to this song offered on Spotify. It is over here.
Sport to clear the mind
Mark Zuckerberg has also made a habit of surprising us by trying his hand at disciplines in which we didn’t expect him. Remember that he practices Brazilian Jiu-jitsu at a level that seems completely correct to the point of earning him a gold medal in a competition. The entrepreneur says that sport is a valuable everyday asset “in order to change your mind, and then work better”.
Following a clash with Elon Musk, there was also talk that the two men would face each other in a duel at the top of MMA. Fortunately for the faint of heart, this fight was ultimately canceled.
