Last year's Super Bowl Halftime Show saw some of the most legendary acts in hip-hop history like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and 50 Cent. Despite delivering an iconic performance, one artist regretted the way he opened the show; find out below who it was and why.

According to Uproxx, 50 Cent surprised fans at the Pepsi-sponsored show last year when he came out of nowhere despite not being included in the original announced lineup.

What's more surprising is that the rapper opened his performance while hanging upside down to recreate the "In Da Club" music video on stage.

50 Cent Regrets Hanging Upside Down

Looking back at his set, it appears that 50 Cent regrets doing the stunts, saying it was a "mistake."

Speaking with USA Today, the musician revealed that what he did at the Super Bowl "was a mistake." One of the main reasons why he regrets it is that the rest of the lineup walked in normally.

"The songs still went over, and they got a trophy, too. They all won an Emmy. They got the same thing I got, and I had to put myself upside down," he said.

The 47-year-old rapper was referring to the Creative Arts Emmy Awards that the performance won. Their halftime show was able to win three awards including the Outstanding Variety Special (Live).
