50 Cent fans were shocked when Ed Sheeran made a surprise cameo at his show in London on Tuesday.
The 48-year-old Get Rich or Die Tryin’ artist’s The Final Lap tour stopped at the famed O2 Arena.
In a clip shared by TMZ, 50 — real name Curtis Jackson — directed the excited audience to ‘turn it up even more’ as Sheeran, 32, descended from the ceiling inside a huge box.
He was simultaneously singing his 2017 hit Shape Of You as Jackson instructed concertgoers to ‘put their hands up.’
It was at that moment that the redhead crooner was uncovered and revealed to the crowd.
