Sunday night at Coachella was all about some high-profile rappers and hip-hop stars popping out as special guests as 50 Cent, Big Sean, Tyga and Omarion all hit the stage for surprise drop-ins.

Iconic rapper 50 Cent made a guest appearance Sunday night with DJ Snake at the Sahara tent and treated the Weekend 2 crowd to his two biggest hits.

“Coachella, I’ve got a little something for you,” DJ snake said to the crowd before emerging from the cage-like box he was DJing in through a little trap door that raised him to the top of it, where 50 Cent joined him.

Seemingly every phone in the Sahara flew up to record the epic surprise guest moment nobody saw coming as 50 Cent launched into "In Da Club" and "P.I.M.P."

During Weekend 1, DJ Snake had Peso Pluma, Robin S. and Kodak Black perform as special guests.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the grounds at the Outdoor Theatre, Jhené Aiko brought out some of her friends and family as she did during Weekend 1. She had a particularly harmonious duet with partner Big Sean as they performed his songs "I Know" and "Beware," and then teamed up for her song "Moments." Earlier in the set, she brought Omarion and Tyga to help her out.

Then Aiko said she was bringing out another special guest. One that meant more to her than any other possible guest. It was her daughter Namiko Love as the two sang "Sing To Me" in a touching moment.
