Why are Tyrese and The Rock fighting?
The feud can be traced back to September when it was speculated that The Rock might be in talks for a Fast & Furious spin-off centered on his character.
Tyrese’s feelings were apparently hurt and he made it known in the comments of The Rock’s Instagram.
“If you move forward with that #Hobbs Movie you will have purposely ignored the heart to heart moment we had in my sprinter. I don’t wanna hear from you until you remember what we talked about. I’m on your timeline cause you’re not responding to my text messages – #FastFamily is just that a family…….. We don’t fly solo,” wrote Tyrese.
A month later, it was announced that the release date for Fast & Furious 9 had been postponed to April 2020.
Tyrese called out The Rock once again, writing, “#FastFamily right? Nah….. it’s about #TeamDewayne #3yrs will it be worth the wait? #NoShaw just Hobbs will this be another #BayWatch?”
