Tyrese Gibson Says He Won't Make Fast and Furious 9 If Dwayne Johnson Is in It
The actor and
singer took to his Instagram Wednesday to announce that he won’t be appearing
in the next movie in the franchise if Johnson is also taking part.
“Hello world,
hello loyal fans and loved ones from OUR fast universe,” Gibson started the
post. “I’m sorry to announce that if [Dwayne] is in Fast9 there will no more
Roman [Pearce]. You mess with family and my daughter’s survival I mess with
yours.”
Gibson is
currently embroiled in a legal battle with his ex-wife, who accused him of
abusing their daughter in court documents.
The post comes
after Gibson blasted Johnson when it was announced the ninth installment of the
series was being pushed back a year in order to release a standalone film for
the former wrestler’s character.
“Congratulations
to @TheRock and your brother in law aka 7 bucks producing
partner @hhgarcia41 for making the fast and the furious franchise
about YOU,” the actor wrote, also taking a dig at Johnson’s last movie Baywatch,
which underperformed this summer at the U.S. box office.
The drama
between actors in the franchise first erupted on the set of Fast 8 when
Johnson called out some of his male costars as “chicken s—” and
“candy-ass.” Gibson took to Instagram in defense of franchise star
and producer Vin Diesel at the time – who is reportedly the
target of his costar’s rant.
