Fans shocked as Mark Zuckerberg sings cringey cowl of rap anthem for brand spanking new launch
Mark Zuckerberg released his own cover the classic hip hop hit ‘Get Low’ on Wednesday, with many unimpressed fans calling the musical attempt ‘cringe.’
The 40-year-old Facebook co-founder took to Instagram and shared that the ‘lyrical masterpiece’ was playing when he met his wife Priscilla Chan in college, and he covered it as a tribute to her on their ‘dating anniversary.’
The billionaire — who recently ditched his drab tech-geek hoodie for a more flashy look — also shared photos of him with rapper T-Pain, 40, and revealed that he helped him work on the new version, with the duo calling themselves ‘Z-Pain.’
Their cover of Get Low — which was originally released back in 2002 by Lil Jon & The EastSide Boyz — features an acoustic version of a heavily auto-tuned Zuckerberg singing the NSFW lyrics.
Zuckerberg lit up social media after the track dropped on Spotify, with one fan writing: ‘Mark Zuckerberg covered Lil’ Jon’s “Get Low” and it is as cringe as you would expect it to be.’

At one point Mark sings the lyrics: ‘From the windows to the walls, till sweat drops down my b***s, till all these b***hes crawl,’ and ‘can I play with your panty line, club owner said I need to calm down, security guard is sweating me now, I got drunk and a motherf***er threatened me now.’
Other fans chimed in, with one writing, ‘Mark Zuckerberg has recorded his own fully explicit version of “Get Low.” Worst cringe of the year award.’
‘I did not need to hear mark zuckerberg sing “til the sweat drop down my balls” in a singer/songwriter version of get low,’ someone else chimed in, alluding to the explicit lyrics.
‘I thought I’ve seen it all, until I found out T-Pain and Mark Zuckerberg did an acoustic version of Get Low. Never thought I’d hear Auto-Tune zuck singing motherf****r and pantyline, but here we are.’
‘Mark Zuckerberg is here writing cringe songs and you can’t even get a text back,’ someone else added.
‘Mark Zuckerberg collaborating with t-pain to make a new version of get low is the LAST thing I expected to hear today.’
In his Instagram post Zuckerberg also shared a throwback photo of him cuddling up to his wife of 12 years.
Mark, who recently threw a disco-themed party for his wife, captioned the post: ‘”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,’ he added followed by a red heart emoji.
Priscilla, who met fellow Harvard student Mark at a frat party during his sophomore year in 2003, was quick to comment on the post and said: ‘Can’t get quite as low anymore but more in love and grateful for that love than ever. Love you MZ.’
T-Pain commented:’ Happy anniversary! Thanks for letting me be a part of this.’
Mark even recorded the moment that he played the song to Priscilla for the first time as she sat cross-legged on a sofa dressed in a pair of black sweatpants and denim jacket.
‘Happy date-versary, I made you something, do you wanna check it out?’ Mark asked her as she listened to the track on her cell phone.
In the next clip, Priscilla was seen laughing as she listened to her husband sing before he told her: ‘I love you,’ and then said: ‘Is that the most romantic thing I’ve ever done or what?’
Priscilla replied: ‘It’s so romantic, 21 years later I can’t get quite as low, but it brings back a lot of fond memories!’ as they both laughed.
She also posted the throwback photo of them on her own Instagram Stories and wrote alongside it: ‘2003: Two kids fall in love,’ alongside a red heart emoji.
The social media mogul shared behind the scenes snaps that showed him and T-Pain working on the track

And his hair, once a Spartacus-like crop with a drawn-on fringe, was grown out to a hipster boy-fro. He’s also been seen in a shearling coat, apparently channelling the current cowboy chic.
