Vin Diesel Chimes In On Rock - Tyrese Gibson "Fast & Furious" Beef, Great Video Of Rock Resurfaces

Actor Vin Diesel, who had his own feud with The Rock last year over the Fast & Furious franchise, is siding with The Great One in his current beef with fellow-Fast actor Tyrese Gibson.

Tyrese took to social media several days ago to lash out at The Rock after it was announced that Rock's character Hobbs was getting a spin-off movie that would be released before Fast & The Furious 9. Fast 9 was pushed back from April 19th, 2019 to April 10th, 2020 due to the Hobbs movie. Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw character also has a spin-off movie coming, now to be released on July 26th, 2019.

Tyrese accused Rock and his Seven Bucks Productions partner Hiram Garcia of breaking up the Fast family, saying Rock was making the franchise about himself and taking a shot at Rock's recent Baywatch movie. Diesel took to Instagram and said it's unfair to blame the Fast 9 delay on anyone.

Brotherhood... and all it's complexities. This scene was filmed in Puerto Rico, I can remember it like it was yesterday. Such a beautiful island, the people were so warm and welcoming. I turned 43 that summer... and my son Vincent was born.
A woman named Jan Kelly responded to a question I had asked on Facebook, 'who they would like to see me work with?' She said would love to see me work with Dwayne... I listened to her request and he became Hobbs.

I know there has been a lot of speculation as to why the Fast 9 release date was pushed... but it would be unfair to say it is anyone's fault.
As we plot the course to expand the Fast & Furious universe, one must be mindful to take stock of the roads we took to get here. The pillars of authenticity, family and most importantly, our loyal fan's perspective has been instrumental in procuring success.
However, like any vehicle that has run around the globe 8 times, the franchise is in need of maintenance. My good friend and the godfather of Universal, Ron Meyer has granted me the time to do just that. We have some very exciting news to share soon... stay tuned.
Yours truly, Dom

On a related note, a great video of Rock commenting on Tyrese's 2015 Black Rose album has been making the rounds after it was posted again by Tyrese on social media. It should be noted that the video is a few years old but it's trending this week due to the fresh beef between the two. The video was re-posted by several wrestling stars, including WWE announcer Mauro Ranallo. You can see the video below:

In case you missed it, below are the original Fast 9 comments from Tyrese and The Rock:

Daddy's gotta go back to work ~ Hobbs.
Pumped to expand and build out the FAST & FURIOUS universe in a cool, exciting way with our @sevenbucksprod, writer/producer Chris Morgan, producer Hiram Garcia and lead producer and my bigger twin, Neil Moritz.
Thank you UNIVERSAL STUDIOS for being tremendous partners who see the big picture and for coming to us years ago with this spinoff idea. Huge shout to my brother, Jason Statham for the trust and wanting to create and deliver something fresh and bad ass for the fans.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for this franchise that I've enjoyed droppin' blood and sweat in over the years and my vision is to create greater opportunities for not only my fellow FF cast mates, but for other amazing actors as well who want to be a part of something new and cool.
I want to use my spinoff platform to create new characters that fans will ultimately love to have fun with in multiple chapters and platforms. Film, TV, Digital, Virtual Reality etc.. the more opportunities we can create the better for the fans.
Smart business.
Let's have some FUN and to quote, Hobbs the boss, if you don't like it, we're happy to beat that ass like a Cherokee drum.
