Elon Musk releases rap song in memory of Harambe and it already has over 800K listens

Cape Town – Tech mogul Elon Musk is now a rapper.

The businessman – who was born in South Africa – has released an incredibly autotuned ode to Harambe, the gorilla.

The fittingly titled RIP Harambe has lyrics like "We love you Harambe" and "Sipping on some Bombay/We on our way to heaven".

Elon tweeted a link to the track, along with another tweet, saying: "I'm disappointed that my record label failed."
