Fans watching the Super Bowl 56 halftime show were already treated to a 90s throwback performance with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Eminem.

Just after Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre got the show started, 50 Cent made an appearance as the second act of the show, beginning his performance by hanging upside down as he started performing, "In Da Club." Before long, Anderson .Paak had also joined the show.

After dropping down to his feet, 50 Cent continued his performance as dancers began to fill in around him. His performance led into Blige, who began to sing, "Family Affair."

50 Cent has worked alongside both Eminem and Dr. Dre throughout his career, and has also had a few collaborations with another halftime performer, Kendrick Lamar.

Anderson .Paak was another surprise during the halftime show as he joined Eminem up on stage later during the performance.

Fans were understandably excited to see 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak making an appearance at the halftime show — and enjoyed how he made his entrance.
