American rapper and actor 50 Cent was introduced by songwriter Flo Rida as a surprise guest performer at billionaire Tilman Fertitta’s recent yacht party.

A TMZ video showed how the rapper blew the minds of attendees away when Flo Rida introduced him as a special guest at a party of Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta.

“An icon, the legend,” these were Flo’s words as he introduced 50 Cents  to the stage.

 “The greatest ever. Make some noise for my brother, 50 Cent,” Flo added, as the crowd cheered on in excitement. 

50 went on to perform some of his hit songs, including “P.I.M.P.” and “Candy Shop.”

Sources told the outlet that Cent and Flo also took to the stage together to spray champagne as the thrilling night continued.

The champagne wasn’t just any ordinary bottle. It was a Le Chemin du Roi, a premium selection from 50 Cent’s Sire Spirits brand, meaning “The Path of the King,” as the champagne retails for $150 per bottle.

Fertitta called on Flo Rida and 50 Cent to perform at his annual San Luis Salute in celebration of Mardi Gras in Galveston, Texas, which took place aboard the billionaire’s 252-foot motor yacht, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Last December, Donald Trump nominated Fertitta to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Italy and San Marino. 

Over the years, 50 Cent and Trump have also had their own dealings. In October, the rapper revealed he was offered $3 million to perform at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally but turned down the offer. 

“I stay away from religion, I stay away from politics,” he said to The Breakfast Club back then.

On Monday, March 3, 50 Cent celebrated the 20th anniversary of his album The Massacre which includes chart-topping songs “Candy Shop,” “Just a Lil Bit,” and “Disco Inferno.”
