We study deformation of tube algebra under twisting of graded monoidal categories. When a tensor category $mathcal{C}$ is graded over a group $Gamma$, a torus-valued 3-cocycle on $Gamma$ can be used to deform the associator of $mathcal{C}$. Based on a natural Fell bundle structure of the tube algebra over the action groupoid of the adjoint action of $Gamma$, we show that the tube algebra of the twisted category is a 2-cocycle twisting of the original one.
