Randi Zuckerberg, sister of Mark Zuckerberg, promotes cryptocurrencies. For this she parodies well-known songs – and reaps malice.
Her younger brother is the founder of Facebook, CEO of Meta and one of the richest people in the world with an estimated fortune of $74.5 billion. Randi Zuckerberg, Mark Zuckerberg’s sister, who is two years older than her, is also an entrepreneur – although not quite as well known. She heads the tech company Zuckerberg Media, which she founded in 2016.
Now, however, Zuckerberg is making a name for herself as a singer: she has published a song about cryptocurrencies on Twitter. Like many other celebrities and the super-rich, the 40-year-old is currently very enthusiastic about crypto and NFT. While others are tweeting about it or promoting it, Zuckerberg finds a very different way of expressing that passion. She parodies popular hits in a crypto style.

Randi Zuckerberg parodies big hits
She rewrote Twister Sister’s 1984 song “We’re Not Gonna Take It” to “We’re All Gonna Make It.” The first letters make up the acronym WAGMI – a popular slogan in the crypto community. Zuckerberg wants to use it to advertise Web3, the idea of a new, decentralized generation of the Internet in which the big platforms (such as her brother’s company) should play less of a role.
However, Zuckerberg’s version of the song was not well received by Twitter users. Some even threatened a lawyer in view of the eighties-style video. Zuckerberg, on the other hand, couldn’t understand the negative reactions. She was looking for a fun way to explain crypto slang to newcomers, she wrote in a later tweet: “All those acronyms and terms can be very intimidating at first.”
It wasn’t the first time Randi Zuckerberg released a crypto version of a big hit. Two weeks earlier she had imitated pop star Adele with her song “Hello”. In it, she invites newcomers to explore cryptocurrency: “Hello, it’s me, would you want to learn about exchanging cryptocurrency?”
