50 Cent got many men and women moving at a New York Fashion Week event Friday night ... getting the crowd bumping during an event for the soda brand Poppi.

The rapper came out for a surprise performance at the event -- a launch for Poppi's new Cherry Cola flavor -- playing some of his biggest hits in a Versace t-shirt and red New York cap.

50 rocked the room ... then stayed to pose for pics afterwards -- hanging with out with some of the biggest bold-faced names in NYC this weekend.

Emily Ratajkowski attended the party in a sheer mesh t-shirt revealing her black bra and a pair of black skinny jeans while Olympian Suni Lee arrived in a gorgeous white cocktail dress.

Michael Rainey Jr. -- star of 50's hit tv show "Power Book II: Ghost" -- posed with the hit show's executive producer.

And, Maria Georgas -- recently embroiled in some pretty epic "The Bachelorette" drama -- gave Poppi's new flavor the kiss of approval.

Among the other bold-faced names ... Jasmine Tookes , Camille Kostek , Devon Windsor , Brooks Nader , Georgia Fowler , Ari Melber , NBA star Kevin Love , beauty mogul Patrick Ta , and reality stars Lisa Barlow and Meredith Marks .
