    MARK Zuckerberg is showing off his new accessory given to him by a surprising friend.

    Rapper T-Pain gifted the Meta CEO a hefty gold chain with a triangle pendant with the star’s signature and Meta logo.

    The tech tycoon posted a video on Instagram of him putting on the chain as T-Pain’s song “Buy U a Drank” played in the background.

    “That’s awesome,” Zuckerberg laughed as he unveiled the chain.

    The Facebook founder layered the new accessory over his older gold chain and said, “You know the other one wasn’t quite big enough.”

    “This definitely, it’s a vibe.”

    Zuckerberg took the flashy gift as a chance to promote Meta’s new feature, Segment Anything AI, a tool that helps editors cut objects out from videos .

    Zuckerberg edited the video of him putting on his new chain to show new special effects available by Meta; he even cut himself out of the video so the chain looked like it was floating.

    “Thanks @tpain for the epic new chain,” he captioned the Instagram video.

    “Perfect opportunity to show how the new Segment Anything AI research model we’re releasing today can track different objects in the same video.

    “Lots of fun video effects will be possible with this.”

    “Looks great on you buddy,” T-pain commented on the video.

    “Thanks for being a great friend.”

    Zuckerberg said he’s “looking forward to more adventures ahead” with the rapper.

    The collab between the two may seem random to most people, Zuckerberg and T-Pain go way back.

    In 2021, the two were on a live stream together, during which the rapper ranted to the tech mogul about Instagram’s new features.

    Three years later, and fans still love this unlikely duo.

    “Zuck really leaning into the chain fashion, I like it,” one follower wrote.

    Others were left wondering when the official T-Pain and Mark Zuckerberg crossover will drop.

    “When is the Zuck x TPain collab dropping,” one commenter asked.

    Many followers of the Meta mastermind commented that the T-Pain chain makes him feel a little bit “more human.”

    “As AI advances, Zuck becomes more human,” one fan wrote.

    “Coincidence? I think not.”

    Zuckerberg hasn’t been holding back on showing his human side recently.

    In a recent interview with ​​NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, Zuckerberg lost his robot-like composure as he commented on closed platforms.

    Closed platforms such as Apple’s App Store allows Apple to have complete control over the software’s operating system.

    “I just want to make sure that we can build the fundamental technology that we’re going to be building social experiences on because there just have been too many things that I’ve tried to build and then have just been told ‘nah you can’t really build that by the platform provider,’ that at some level I’m just like, ‘nah, f**k that,’” Zuckerberg said.

    “Get me talking about closed platforms, and I get angry.”
