Swizz Beatz recently appeared on Mike Tyson‘s “Hotboxin’” series were he chatted with the heavyweight boxing legend himself and DJ Whoo Kid.

At the 21:20 mark of their conversation, which you can watch below, Mike declared “I’m a Lil Wayne fan” before asking Swizz about his “Uproar” collaboration with Wayne off Tha Carter V album.

The New York music artist, DJ and producer then revealed he messed around with Tunechi‘s vocals on the beat as it was originally just a freestyle with Tune rapping all the way through with no break points, and Weezy didn’t like it at first before he changed his mind and was like: “aight, let’s do it”!

The reason Lil Wayne never performed live at Mike Tyson’s comeback fight against Roy Jones Jr. on November 28th was due to an “unrelated 3rd party”.

In a statement co-issued from Triller and Weezy, there was a 3rd party who tried to involve themselves in the production process between the video-making/social-networking service and the Young Money CEO:

“Unfortunately there was an unrelated 3rd party who attempted to insert themselves in the production process between Triller and Lil Wayne the night before the event and the morning of and it unfortunately caused enough of an issue that Wayne couldn’t perform.”

However, Tunechi says he “was truly disappointed he was precluded from performing by the 3rd party” and promises to perform live at “Triller’s next fight card.”

We first got word of this a few months ago, and now it has been confirmed Lil Wayne will perform live at Mike Tyson‘s comeback fight against Roy Jones Jr. on November 28th.

As well as Weezy, viral entertainment platform Triller has also revealed there will be live performances at the boxing event from DaBaby, French Montana, Wiz Khalifa, and YG.

“This event is going to go down in history, no doubt! I’m grateful to be a part of it and share the arena with two living legends. I’m stoked to perform and give the fans something they can rock to” – Lil Wayne.

The fight will be streamed on PPV streaming and Pay-Per-View on TysonOnTriller for $49.99! What song(s) do you think Tunechi will perform live?
