It’s been a little over a month since [Kanye West’s](http://time.com/5426145/kanye-west-kim-kardashian-uganda-museveni-criticsm/) controversial [meeting with President Donald Trump](http://time.com/5422270/kanye-west-trump-speech/) at the White House, and, for now, it looks like the rapper is sticking to his [new vow to stay out of politics](http://time.com/5439805/kanye-west-politics-twitter-trump/). But that doesn’t mean he’s done with music—or meeting with some of the country’s most prominent figures.

West took to Twitter on Wednesday to share a somewhat blurry photo of himself and Mark Zuckerberg doing karaoke together. “We sang Backstreet Boys’ ‘I Want It That Way,'” he captioned the attention-grabbing shot.

While it’s unclear why Ye and the Facebook CEO were out together in the first place, people still had plenty to say about the get-together.

“Kanye West and Mark Zuckerberg singing ‘I Want It That Way’ together,” is a phrase I never even considered possible until today,” tweeted one confused follower.

## Transcript

[00:00] I think it's the bravery that helps you beat this game
[00:00] called life. They tried to scare me to not wear this hat,
[00:06] my own friends. But this hat, it gives me
[00:11] power in a way. My dad and my
[00:15] mom separated, so I didn't have a lot of male energy
[00:19] In my home and also I'm married to a family that-
[00:22] [ LAUGH ] Not a lot of male energy
[00:27] going on. It's beautiful though. I love Hillary, I love
[00:31] everyone, right, but the campaign I'm With Her just
[00:34] didn't make me feel, as a guy that didn't get to see my
[00:34] dad all the time, like a guy that could play catch with
[00:37] his son,
[00:42] It was something about when I put this hat on, it made
[00:45] me feel like Superman. You made a Superman. That's
[00:48] my favorite superhero. And you made a Superman
[00:50] cape for me. Also as a guy that looks up to you, looks
[00:53] up to [ UNKNOWN ], Looks up to American industry
[00:53] guys. Non- political, one of the moves that I loved that
[00:56] Liberals tried to do The liberal will try
[01:02] to control a black person through the concept of
[01:04] racism because they know that we are very proud,
[01:07] emotional people. So when I said I like Trump to
[01:09] someone that's liberal, they'll say, but he's racist. You
[01:12] think racism can control me? That don't stop me.
[01:16] That's an invisible wall. This guy right here. Let me give
[01:18] this guy a hug. I love this guy
[01:22] right here. That's good. That's really nice.
