50 Cent Surprises Fans With Star-Studded Guests at Las Vegas Residency
50 Cent promised fans surprises at his Las Vegas residency, and he delivered big time during the third show of his six-night run at PH Live in the Planet Hollywood hotel.
Midway through the set, after tearing through crowd favorites like “21 Questions” and “Many Men (Wish Death),” 50 Cent, 49, teased, “I told y’all I got surprises tonight. You ain’t ready for this one.”
An onlooker tells Us of the Monday, December 30, show, “The energy in the room was electric as the packed crowd eagerly anticipated what — or who —might be next. Cue the lights dimming and the opening notes of T-Pain’s ‘Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin’).’”
The concertgoer notes that “the crowd erupted” as T-Pain, 40, took the stage.
“T-Pain’s powerhouse performance of his classics — including ‘I’m Sprung’ and ‘Bartender’ — turned the concert into a full-blown party,” the onlooker says.
Fans sang along as T-Pain and 50 Cent performed a surprise mashup of “Can’t Believe It” and “Best Friend,” to the audience’s delight. Just when the crowd thought they’d seen it all, 50 Cent upped the ante.
“Hold up, we ain’t done yet!” he shouted. The arena went wild as DaBaby stormed the stage, delivering a fiery performance of his hits “Suge” and “Rockstar.” 50 Cent and DaBaby, 33, then joined forces for a dynamic rendition of “Ball If I Want To,” cementing the night as one to remember.
The surprises didn’t stop there. To close out the show, Jeremih appeared on stage to perform “Down on Me” with 50 Cent, reigniting memories of their chart-topping collaboration. Jeremih, 37, kept the vibe alive with a soulful medley of his solo hits, including “Birthday Sex” and “Don’t Tell ‘Em.”
By the end of the night, fans were left buzzing about the surprise guests and 50 Cent’s ability to keep them guessing.
“This is Vegas — you gotta go big or go home,” the rapper quipped as he closed the show.
In addition to the star-studded cameos, there were also celebs in the audience. Boy Meets World alum Danielle Fishel was in attendance and asked to meet 50 Cent backstage.
With three more performances to go — 50 Cent is slated to take the stage on December 31, January 3 and January 4 — fans can only speculate what surprises the final concerts might hold. If Monday’s show was any indication, 50 Cent’s residency is destined to leave an indelible mark on the Las Vegas Strip.
