Missy Elliott, Ciara, and Busta Rhymes brought out plenty of surprise guests for their tour stop in New York City.

The legendary artists hit the stage at the Barclays Center on Monday night, August 12, for the latest stop on their "Out Of This World Tour." During her set, the Queen Bee stunned fans when she popped up on stage with Virginia rapper as the tune of her collaboration with Mobb Deep "Quiet Storm (Remix)" bumped through the speakers. From there, Kim delivered a medley of her hits from "Ladies Night" to "The Jump Off." It was the first time Missy and Kim performed on stage together in years.

Lil' Kim wasn't the only surprise guest who showed up in Brooklyn. Busta Rhymes also made history during his set. The Flipmode Squad leader and Spliff Starr were on stage while the DJ played the late Craig Mack's "Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)." Midway through the song, LL COOL J popped out and performed his verse live for the first time ever.

“FIRST AND FOREMOST RIP TO #CRAIGMACK AND #THENOTORIOUSBIG!! WHEN I TELL YOU THE BLESSINGS DON’T STOP, WE DON’T STOP THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF EXACTLY THAT!!!” Busta wrote in his Instagram caption featuring a video of the performance. “FIRST TIME EVER PERFORMING ‘FLAVOR IN YOUR EAR RMX’ WITH THE THE GOAT @llcoolj AND THE DRAGON @bustarhymes.
