50 Cent made a surprise appearance at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime show—though it was slightly out of the ordinary.
Following Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s initial “The Next Episode” and “California Love” performances, 50 Cent suddenly appeared flexing while hanging upside down. The technique directly referenced the same imagery from his iconic “In Da Club” music video. The rapper performed the 2003 hit as well, before Mary J. Blige took the stage to sing her smash 2001 song “Family Affair.”
Wow. @50cent #PepsiHalftime pic.twitter.com/8UlJW57gEX

For the occasion, 50 Cent wore a white sweatband—again, directly referencing the “in Da Club” video. However, for a modern update, the rapper also donned a classic white tank top with black and gray-striped straps and black trousers. A gold chain necklace with a “50” pendant and dazzling diamond-encrusted watch completed his look.
THAT. WAS. INCREDIBLE.
