T-Pain, who is recognized for his legendary collaborations, released yet another collaboration earlier this month; not with a rapper or singer, but the Meta founder, Mark Zuckerberg. On November 14, Zuckerberg shared their collaboration—the acoustic version of Lil John and East Side Boyz’s 2002 hit song, Get Low. The Meta founder wanted to dedicate the song to his wife, Priscilla Chan, on their anniversary.
In his Instagram post, Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Get Low was playing at the college party where he first met Priscilla, which led to the yearly tradition of them listening to it on their “dating anniversary.”
In light of T-Pain’s most unexpected collaboration, here’s a look at the rapper’s best collaborations through the years.
