Grimes’ passion for music seems to be rubbing off on boyfriend Elon Musk.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO released an auto-tuned rap tribute to thelate gorilla HarambeSaturday in a short song uploaded to hisSoundCloud account.
“I’m disappointed my record label failed,” he wrote. “Duck emoji defeats Emo G Records. Crushing victory.”
He lateradded, “This might be my finest work.”
It’s unclear if it’s actually Musk rapping on the track, which includes lyrics like, “RIP Harambe/Smoking on some strong hay/In the gorilla zoo and we thinking about you.” As of Monday morning, it had been played more than 914,000 times.
Maybe alluding that the track was a joke, Musklinked to an article about the rap ahead of April Fool’s Day, tweeting, “Making The Onion articles real.”
Harambe, a 17-year-old gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo, made headlines in May 2016 when he was shot and killed after a child slipped into his enclosure, though his legacy carried on in the form of endless viral memes.

The singer, 31, recently called the tech entrepreneur a “super-interesting goddamn person” in an interview withWSJ. Magazine.
“And look, I love him… he’s great. There’s got to be some reason. I just think …” she told the outlet, trailing off.
