Tyrese Gibson wants you to know that it wasn’t him that Dwayne Johnson took to task in a pointed Instagram post on Monday, in which the the 44-year-old called his male Fast 8 co-stars “candy asses” and “chicken sh*t.”

In the post, Johnson having kudos to his “amazing" female costars, but wrote: “My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professional, while others don’t. The ones that don’t are too chicken s--t to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses. When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I’m not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling – you’re right.”

So of course everyone is speculating which male co-star the Rock has beef with. Could it be Tyrese, Vin Diesel, Scott Eastwood, Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Ludacris or Lucas Black? Well according to Entertainment Tonight, Tyrese is coming forward to deny that it’s him. Tyrese wants the world to know he’s never had a problem with the former wrestler.

Tyrese even reposted a July 11 video of Johnson singing to Gibson’s daughter, Shayla, and said that he considers Johnson like a “brother.”

He captioned the clip, “Why are you guys so impressionable? A man wouldn’t be singing from his heart and soul to another mans little angel if he had a problem with her dad.”

However, Tyrese did say he wasn’t thrilled that Johnson didn’t call out people specifically, because now there were rumors that it was him. Tyrese wrote, “Does any of us know why bro decided to jump out there with his post? No….. Would one assume that IF he’s going to jump out there and generalize and say ‘Male Co-Stars’ he would be more clear and call out names??? Of course he should of.”

The singer turned actor added, “Let me calm you guys all the way down........ I don't know WHO he has a problem [with] and I don't have any details of WHAT those problems are - as a matter of fact if I DID know I would tell you s--t!!!”

Tyrese added that he’s doing this film for Paul Walker, writing, "I'm personally not doing this for anyone but my brother Paul Walker," Gibson shared, according to ET’s screenshot. "This franchise is not about and has #Never been about anyone of us individually it's about the #FASTFAMILY - the TRIBE. … I think Dewayne aka DJ happens to be one of the most humble, down to earth and professional people I’ve ever worked with and more importantly he’s my brother we have NEVER had a problem and we will never have a problem.”


According to TMZ, Johnson's rant was aimed at the franchise’s leading man, Vin Diesel, who has been a producer since the film's fourth sequel.

Apparently, Vin and Dwayne met on Tuesday on set in Atlanta to try to settle their differences. a

Fast 8 is slated to drive into theaters on April 14, 2017.

This is my final week of shooting #FastAndFurious8. There's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one. An incredible hard working crew. UNIVERSAL has been great partners as well. My female co-stars are always amazing and I love 'em. My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't. The ones that don't are too chicken shit to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses. When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I'm not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling - you're right. Bottom line is it'll play great for the movie and fits this Hobbs character that's embedded in my DNA extremely well. The producer in me is happy about this part😉. Final week on FAST 8 and I'll finish strong. #IcemanCometh #F8 #ZeroToleranceForCandyAsses
