Spoiler alert for 'NCIS: Los Angeles' Season 11 Episode 16

This week's 'NCIS: Los Angeles' Season 11 gave us a lot of gifts on Episode 16 titled 'Alsiyadun'. There was a sassy, demanding Hetty asking for men to wake up from their comas and answer her and some much needed Sam and Callen banter as the two venture off to Egypt to rescue a coworker.

Above all, what has seemed to take fans by shock and surprise was rapper Offset's acting debut on the show — something that has them convinced he deserves two things: an Emmy and a regular spot on the show.

For other fans, it was curiosity over whether his wife and fellow musician Cardi B helped him prune his acting skills.

According to the official synopsis of the episode as provided by CBS, "When Fatima is captured while on a mission and held for ransom, Callen and Sam enlist a deep undercover CIA agent to help get her back."

This little trip Sam and Callen went on required them to cross paths with the rapper who played quite the crucial role in rescuing Fatima, as he appears as Kadri Kashan Khan — an undercover CIA agent working in the Sinai Peninsula to look over the terrorist activity in the region.



 

While the scene wasn't all long and played out, something tells us there's more to see of the rapper on the show, or so fans believe, who are also saying he deserves being a recurring character.

Taking to Twitter, a fan wrote: "@OffsetYRN NAILED IT! He HAS to come back!" Another one shared: " Seeing offset act was so funny! give him his Emmy award!"

A third fan noted how "Offset looks and sounds differently without the gold fronts and the Migos vernacular, but he did pretty good, I wouldn’t mind seeing him on #NCISLA more often.."

For other fans, it was mostly about the rapper couple — both Offset and his baby mama Cardi B — watching the show that took them by surprise. A fan noted: "Cardi B and Offset watching NCIS LA is something I didn't know I needed to see."

Another one asked what the rest of the fandom has been silently wondering. "Did Cardi give you some acting lessons?" a fan tweeted to Offset, adding: "You killed that. Can’t wait to hopefully see you act more in the future. Congratulations!"

'NCIS: Los Angeles' Season 11 airs on Sundays at 9 pm on CBS.
