Fast and Furious FEUD: The Rock slams ‘CLOWN’ Tyrese Gibson after Hobbs and Shaw success?

A few years ago, hostility flared between Mountain and other stars on the set of The Fate of the Furious. Dwayne Johnson referred to "chicken candy ass" in a social media post during filming, presumably referring to Vin Diesel. In late 2017, Tyrese Gibson criticized Mountain for effectively cancelling Fast & Furious 9 by filming a spinoff, Hobbs & Shaw. After the latter's release, Gibson attacked him again in a since-deleted Instagram post, in which he talked about Hobbs & Shaw's low box office takings compared to the rest of the franchise. The deleted post read, "One item must be respected. He tried. People called me a hater. They actually attacked me for speaking out. Destruction of a family obviously doesn't mean what it is often thought to mean."

"The Rock and crew will dance with us again in #Fast10. We're going all in and going back to work to give the true fans who've supported this franchise for 20 years what they want." In fact, there is no hate, I'm just summarizing the precedent. #FastFamily means a lot. "#FastFamily is normal"

Thank you everyone for making our little spinoff @hobbsandshaw a success in its opening weekend. #1 in #Movies with $333 million worldwide isn't bad. And don't forget the best way to eat an eclipse while lying down is to lean forward in victory. Lean back and grin like the goddess of victory. @sevenbucksprod pic. twitter. com/rxYtNzmFL7

Now, Ute has similarly subtly fired back at Gibson in a post celebrating Hobbs & Thump Shaw becoming the number one movie in the world. Johnson wrote on his public media channel, "Thanks to everyone for a fun opening week at the box office for our little spinoff @hobbsandshaw. #Worldwide #1, $333M, not bad."

"And remember: the best way to outwit an eater [clown] is to lean back with a triumphant grin."
