50 Cent had a surprising guest waiting for him backstage after his Las Vegas residency show — Amanda Bynes.
Bynes, 38, met the rapper after his show during a meet-and-greet at his residency at the theater PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Saturday.
In fan-taken footage, she was seen flashing a big smile and throwing up a peace sign while posing for a photo with 50 Cent, born Curtis James Jackson III.
She thanked him for taking a picture with her and as she walked away, he smiled at her.
The former actress reportedly told the Candy Shop rapper — who ‘scored a $15M paycheck’ for his six-date residency — about a screenplay she’s been working on and told him she’s ‘been a fan of 50 Cent for years,’ per Complex.
The Amanda Show star, who recently held a sold-out art show in Los Angeles, also told him she traveled to from Las Vegas just to see him perform.

The weekend before Christmas, Bynes hosted an exhibit to showcase her ‘latest love.’
Sources told DailyMail.com that she was ‘happy and relaxed’ at the star-studded, sold-out art show, adding that it would take a ‘minor miracle’ for her to return to acting again.
Bynes’ show — which she hosted in collaboration with fashion designer Austin Babbitt — highlighted her passion for art and fashion following her graduation from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.
Insiders revealed that Bynes is planning on focusing all of her attention on her aspiring fashion career and has no plans to go back to acting.
‘This is and was a tremendous step forward for Amanda,’ the source exclusively told DailyMail.com.
‘She will be going through her mental health struggles for the rest of her life but to be out and about and share with friends and fans and to be around her latest love, her art was exactly what she needed.’
Previously, Bynes quit acting in 2010 and went on to have highly-publicized mental health struggles, which resulted in her being placed under a legal conservatorship overseen by her parents for nine years.
