Lil Wayne performs onstage during BACARDI, Swizz Beatz and The Dean Collection bring NO COMMISSION back to Miami to celebrate 'Island Might' at Soho Studios on December 9, 2017 in Miami, Florida.

Lil Wayne performs "Tha Carter V" stand-out during the New Orleans Saints & Washington Redskins halftime show.

Lil Wayne is freshly removed from the release of his excellent new project, Tha Carter V. The album finally dropped at the end of September after fans waited years for its release due to contractual disputes and Pharmabro Martin Shkreli threatening to leak it. Weezy's been taking his talents all over television to promote the project. He joined The Roots on Jimmy Fallon Live last week for a special rendition of "Dedicate." This past Monday, he was seen performing his Swizz Beatz-assisted cut, "Uproar" during the Monday Night Football halftime show.

ESPN's brought an array of different artists to perform during the season for their GENESIS series. They recently tapped Lil Wayne to perform his single, "Uproar" during the New Orleans Saints game against the Washington Redskins. Unfortunately, Swizz Beatz wasn't anywhere to be seen but Wayne delivered an energetic performance. The rapper's seen next to a Genesis here he performs his first verse before running onto a field with a bunch of dancing kids.

"Uproar" seems to be the pick for Wayne's next single off of Tha Carter V. While it's already turned into a viral dance challenge, the rapper was seen shooting a music video for the song which includes a cameo from Instagram sensation, Shiggy. There's no word on when the video is going to drop, but we're excited to see the final product.
