Kyle Sandilands didn’t mince his words on Friday when he revealed what he thought of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg re-recording an iconic rap song to celebrate an anniversary with his wife.
The 40-year-old tech leader shared an acoustic version of Lil Jon’s Get Low, featuring rapper T-Pain, to mark his ‘dating anniversary’ with wife Priscilla Chan.
Sandilands, 53, criticized Zuckerberg’s candid decision, telling his co-star Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, 49, that he thought Mark’s song, in which he turned an upbeat rap song into a slow ballad, Honestly, it was ridiculous.
‘The worst thing I’ve ever seen. He should be changing his name to be cool and he has failed. The wife loves to bend over and here’s Mark’s song! How embarrassing,” Kyle began.
‘Why would you bother doing this? Yes, he created Facebook, but it doesn’t matter. What else have you done? You’ve done one thing in your life!’
Jackie said that the original Get Low song had sentimental value to Mark and his wife, as they always played it at the college parties they attended while studying at Harvard University in 2004.

“I don’t think she’ll be impressed,” Kyle responded.
However, Mark’s wife Priscilla didn’t seem to agree with Kyle’s assessment when she commented on her husband’s post and told him how much she loved what he did.
“I can’t go that low anymore, but I’m more in love and grateful for it than ever.” I love you MZ,” Priscilla wrote.
Mark revealed on Instagram that the song had been playing when they met at a party when they were freshmen at Harvard, adding that they listened to it every year on their dating anniversary.

At one point, Mark softly sings the lyrics: ‘From the windows to the walls, ’til the sweat drips down my b****s, ’til all these bitches crawl’ and ‘Can I play with your panty line, club? The owner said I need to calm down, the security guard is making me sweat now, I got drunk and some motherfucker threatened me now.
Despite the romantic tone of the gesture, rap fans came out in droves to share their disdain for the song, with one calling it “the worst cringe song of the year.”
In his Instagram post, Mark also shared a photo of him hugging his wife of 12 years.
