Ice T recently appeared on the Holdin Court Podcast to chop it up with the host Big Court.

From the 3:55 mark of their interview, which you can watch below, Ice claims Lil Wayne and Future were supposed to perform live during the hip-hop turning 50-years-old tribute at this year’s GRAMMY Awards, which took place in Los Angeles on February 5th.

There was many rappers, such as Busta Rhymes, Grandmaster Flash, Lil Uzi Vert, LL Cool J, Method Man, Missy Elliott, Public Enemy and Scarface etc, who did perform live at hip-hop’s 50th anniversary set during the 65th annual GRAMMYs, but due to “something happening on the red carpet”, it didn’t turn out to be for Wayne. Check out everything what Ice T said below!

Tomorrow (February 5th), Lil Wayne has been announced as one of the live performers for the 65th annual Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena (formerly known as the Staples Center) in Los Angeles, California.

This year’s GRAMMYs will be honoring hip-hop’s 50th anniversary with a huge performance featuring Weezy, Big Boi, Busta Rhymes with Spliff Star, De La Soul, DJ Drama, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Missy Elliott, Future, GloRilla, Grandmaster Flash, Grandmaster Mele Mel & Scorpio/Ethiopian King, Ice-T, Lil Baby, Method Man, Nelly, Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Rahiem, Rakim, RUN-DMC, Salt-N-Pepa and Spinderella, Scarface, Swizz Beatz, The LOX, and Too $hort.

The live performance will be directed and produced by Questlove, and LL Cool J will be introducing everyone (as well as performing himself). The music will be provided by The Roots and Black Thought will be narrating.

Be sure to tune into the awards show tomorrow night, which will be streaming live on CBS. It has now been confirmed that one of the songs Tunechi is going to perform is “God Did” with DJ Khaled, JAY Z and Rick Ross!

On March 28th, Lil Wayne will be performing live at Red Bull Guest House 2015 during Miami Music Week and Ultra Music Festival, which will take place from 2PM to 7PM at Sagamore, The Art Hotel in Florida.

Also performing live on the same day as Weezy will be Mannie Fresh, Questlove, Hudson Mohawke, and more special guests. Is there any readers of LilWayneHQ.com who will be attending this event?

On July 23rd, Lil Wayne will appear on VH1’s new music series called SoundClash, along with American rock band Fall Out Boy and British group London Grammar.

SoundClash, which is being executive produced by Questlove and hosted by Diplo, will feature three artists all on the same stage at one time performing their hits, songs with the other artists (if they have any), and covers.

Wayne has three collaborations with Fall Out Boy (“America’s Suitehearts (Remix)”, “Tiffany Blews”, and “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race (Remix)”), so I wonder if they will perform any of those tracks together? Even if they don’t, I’m sure it will still be interesting to watch!
