Workers at Pollo Tropical in Little Havana got a great surprise when singer Nicky Jam dropped by on Sunday (September 20), according to The Miami Herald.

The reggaeton star walked into the chicken restaurant with Palestinian entrepreneur Jay Mazini, who is known for giving out money to the needy. Instagram videos on both the men's accounts captured the event.

Mazini entered first, carrying a large bag. He asked how many workers were in Pollo Tropical before doling out stacks of money from sack.

“Two thousand for you,” he said, handing green to employees behind the counter. “Two thousand for you.”

More employees started heading toward the front of the store as Mazini was giving out cash. When he runs out, that's when Nicky Jam walked in with bodyguards.

“Oh my God! It’s him, it’s Nicky!” said someone off camera. Others scream as the singer begins handing out his own stacks of money.

“Blessings to you, my people,” he said with a huge smile.

"He even makes it rain for an excited woman with a small child standing in line," The Miami Herald reported.

“For you too, mami,” he said and they hug.

Nicky Jam poses with some workers for pictures, and the video ends with employees cheering and saying "Thank you!"

As of September 22, Nick Jam's video has over 4 million views and counting.

"My people. I loved the gesture of @jaymazini and wanted to join the cause AND more in these difficult times," Nicky Jam said in Spanish on the post.
