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 the late gorilla Harambe Saturday in a short song uploaded to his SoundCloud account.
The two-minute track was uploaded to the site under the faux label Emo G Records, and shared to Twitter by Musk, 47.
“I’m disappointed my record label failed,” he wrote. “Duck emoji defeats Emo G Records. Crushing victory.”
He later added, “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, Musk linked 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.
Musk, meanwhile, has also made headlines in recent months, and announced in October he was stepping down as chairman of Tesla and would pay a $20 million fine to settle charges brought against him by the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to CNN.
The announcement came just days after the SEC said they were suing Musk for misleading investors — an allegation stemming from a controversial tweet he sent out in August declaring he was taking Tesla private at $420 a share.
Amid his business drama, Musk’s relationship with singer Grimes, who now goes by c, has been going strong since they debuted as a couple in 2018.

The singer, 31, recently called the tech entrepreneur a “super-interesting goddamn person” in an interview with WSJ. 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.
