Mark Zuckerberg surprised everyone with his non-tech side project - teaming up with hip-hop star T-Pain to make music (a move nobody saw coming)
The meta-minded tech leader and auto-tune king joined forces to cover “Get Low‚“ forming a band called Z-Pain; their acoustic take on the 2002 hit brings an unexpected twist to the dance-floor classic
Twenty-one years later‚ I cant get quite as low but it brings back a lot of fun memories
The song choice wasnt random - it played during Zuckerbergʼs first meeting with his wife Priscilla Chan at a college party about two decades ago. Every year since then the couple (who are now 40 and 39) listen to it on their dating anniversary
The duo shared pics from their recording session showing both holding acoustic guitars: T-Pain (whose real name is Faheem Najm) and Zuckerberg looking quite serious about their musical endeavor. The track which made it to UKʼs top-10 back in the day is now available on Spotify with its rather spicy lyrics turned into an odd-but-sweet love ballad
Zuckerberg - whoʼs now worth around $204 billion and runs one of the worlds biggest tech companies - dropped out of Harvard to build Facebook‚ but clearly hasnʼt forgotten his college days
