BILLIONAIRE Facebook mogul Mark Zuckerberg has launched his music career with a “cringe” rap song recorded for his wife.
Zuckerberg, 40, and long-time partner Priscilla Chan celebrated their anniversary as the Meta chief hopped in the studio with T-Pain to record his own unique version of a hip hop classic.

Zuckerberg showed off his bizarre NSFW cover of Get Low by Lil John to Chan who giggled her way through the unconventional yet touching three and a half minute rap hit.
He jumped onto an acoustic version of the track as he tried his best to style it out with some heavily auto-tuned and very explicit lyrics.
Referencing the original 2002 classic song, the Meta CEO said lines such as: “From the windows to the walls, till sweat drops down my b***s, till all these b***hes crawl.”
The tech guru was marking the anniversary of the first time he and Chan met when they were both students at Harvard University in 2003.

Get Low had been blaring through the speakers on the night they first spoke to each other as romance quickly blossomed.
Zuckerberg posted several snaps ranging from him and T-Pain in the recording booth, Zuck and Chan as youngsters and even the entire song on his Instagram.
In a heartfelt post alongside the behind the scenes pics and cringe inducing track, Zuckerberg said they listen to Get Low annually on their special day.
The Meta CEO wrote: “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.”
Later in the day he also revealed his wife’s reaction the first time he played it at home.
Sitting cross legged on the sofa a relaxed Chan was handed her husband’s phone.
Mark then told her: “Happy date-versary, I made you something, do you wanna check it out?”
Beaming as the beat and lyrics first kicked in, Chan was left amused but touched by the song.
After it had finished an excitable Zuck told her he loved her before asking: “Is that the most romantic thing I’ve ever done or what?”
Chan swiftly replied: “It’s so romantic, 21 years later I can’t get quite as low, but it brings back a lot of fond memories!”
The song has been officially released on Spotify now under the alias “Z-Pain” and includes a music video of T-Pain and Zuckerberg laughing and singing next to a microphone.
The billionaire has a guitar in hand as his “lyrical masterpiece” plays in the background.
Both musical geniuses even created an album cover for the song which shows T-Pain and Zuckerberg holding up a guitar each as they stand in front of the moon.

A “parental advisory, explicit content” warning has also been added.
Underneath Zuckerberg’s Instagram post featuring the song a whole host of comments quickly flooded in.
Chan was one of the first to respond as she said: “Can’t get quite as low anymore but more in love and grateful for that love than ever. Love you MZ.”
The happy couple have three daughters together in Maxima, eight, August, seven, and one-year-old Aurelia.
T-Pain also chimed in saying: “Happy anniversary! Thanks for letting me be a part of this.”
Thousands of other celebs and bewildered fans also lost comments as they praised the tech mogul’s caring attempt but also slammed the less than chart topping execution.
One wrote: “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***er and pantyline, but here we are.”
A second said: “Mark Zuckerberg is here writing cringe songs and you can’t even get a text back.”
As a third pleaded: “Okay drop the album now Zuck.”
