Thursday, 18 December, 2025
Welcome to The Tune'd In Podcast!!!!! (Formerly Known as Dussé & Backwoods) I'm your host TUNDEEEEEE!! Aka Chocolate Papí aka TunGotJokes Twitter/IG/TikTok: @Tungotjokes Special Guest: MALIK B On this episode of TIP, we still down with Comedian, Actor and Social Media Content Creator, Malik B. We start our conversation with Malik first addressing the pronunciation of name, which is constantly mistaken for "Maleek". Malik goes on to example how his name is Arabic and it means "King", so he takes pride in letting people know the correct pronunciation of his name. We then start to discuss what it was like growing up for him in LA, and how having both of his parents in his life and a strong relationship with his father helped mold him into the man he is today. Malik later tells us that he was acting and doing commercials as a young kid due to his mothers encouragement, but it was his father putting him in boxing, were he feel in love with the sport of boxing. Malik let us know that he was actually a really good boxer, to the point he found himself in Vegas training at Floyd Mayweather gym and even eventually sparring with Mayweather. Little did Malik know that his love for boxing would end up having him meeting Micheal B. Jordan in the boxing gym one day, and eventually have him be the inspiration for his character in the hit movie "CREED". Malik talks about how his first time acting in a movie was a major motion picture with huge movie stars and it was an experience of a life time. Malik let us know that he wasn't even supposed to be in the movie, but after a bet with Micheal B. Jordan, stating that if he beat up the best boxer in the gym, they would write a part for him in the movie. And without any hesitation, Malik beat the hell out of the best boxer in the gym, and the rest was history. That opportunity lead to a domino effect of events that ended up landing him another major role in a Netflix original film called "Burning Sand". After that movie, Malik was forced to face the harsh reality of Hollywood, which is the fact that one minute you can be "booked and busy" and the next your career can be at a complete stand still. So unfortunately for Malik, the movie auditions stopped after awhile and he had to figure out what his next move was going to be. Malik said that is was really a blessing from God for him to transition to his new career of comedy because he was always the one on the movie set making everyone laugh. So one day he saw a Stand Up Comedian class by the late Comedian David Arnold that was being held in LA and decided to join. After a few weeks of the class and getting up and finally performing a stand upset, Malik fell in love with the craft and his comedy journey began. Like usual, our listeners are definitely in for a treat, and like alway this is one you do not want to miss! So sit back and enjoy the crazy world of The Tune’d In Podcast. Yay! Yay!
