Tyrese Calls Out The Rock Over Movie Delay

Tyrese Gibson is calling out Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson over news that the upcoming “Fast & Furious” movie has been delayed by a year. The singer turned actor wrote on social media,

#PSA Congratulations to @TheRock and your brother in law aka 7 bucks producing partner @hhgarcia41 for making the fast and the furious franchise about YOU – And like you, DJ even if they call I will not be deleting this post – Gn folks see you in 2020 April #FastFamily right? Nah….. it’s about #TeamDewayne #3yrs will it be worth the wait? #NoShaw just Hobbs will this be another #BayWatch? Guys guys just relax I’m just a passionate film critic

“Fast and Furious 9” is set to hit theaters April 10, 2020—about a year after its initial release date. The ninth film was originally scheduled to debut April 19, 2019. Last month, there was rumored tension between Tyrese and The Rock. Tyrese left a comment on one of The Rock’s Instagram photos and suggested that he was in talks to do a film centered on his character Luke Hobbs.

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.

Tyrese also wrote in another post,

I have never and will never have a problem with this major movie star he’s my brother. I’m simply trying to reach him cause he won’t call me back about this solo #HobbsMovie I want you to shoot it just not right now cause the #Fast9 release date has already been announced and we can’t let our loyal fans #FastFamily or our loyal fast and furious FANS down on any level from pushing the date…….. Didn’t you see how HUGE #Fast8 was? It’s because we announced and KEPT our release date bro. We do this on behalf of the families, the cast, the crew member who have been down and loyal to us for 15 years…… Everyone matters,” he added. “When we shoot we all eat, we we show up as a FAMILY display our love, our funny stuff, our story lines and HEARTS in every frame…… Me and the cast laugh because it seems like #Fast is like a HOLIDAY at this point….. You [can’t] push the release date of a holiday bro… it’s tradition it’s fans that are LOYAL
