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?”

Things might finally be cooling down with Tyrese.
On November 3, he posted a photo of himself with The Rock and Vin Diesel from back in the day and his caption seem to hint that he was done talking about The Rock.
Calling it his “last post” about Johnson, he wrote, “Want you guys to know I️ had a real Heart to Heart with one of Dewayne’s associates. I️ respect the associate who called.. My story will never change I️ was never DJ’s Co-Star… I’m Shayla’s Father first…. Justin Lin is back in the driver seat that’s exciting cause it going to feel like the true #FastFamily all over again….. When we see Justin we see Paul.”
