If anyone knows anything about singer/actor, Tyrese Gibson, they know he had a serious problem with his Fast & Furious co-star/former friend, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. So much so, that his anger and hurt by The Rock, spilled over into his many social media rants a short time ago.
Well, that was then and this is now. Although Tyrese later expressed regret for his actions, that doesn’t mean he probably still doesn’t like what has just been announced about the spin-off of the Hollywood franchise he holds so dear to his heart. In fact, fans refuse to let him overlook it and it involves Idris Elba.
Idris Elba’s Announcement
Actor, Idris Elba, has just announced that he’ll be joining the Rock in the spin-off of Fast & Furious, titled, Hobbs & Shaw. He’s playing the villain, “Brixton,” and to say he’s excited is an understatement, based on his Instagram post:

Following his announcement, Rock commented underneath Idris’ post with this message:
“The baddest MF villain the franchise has ever seen.”
Fans Taunt Tyrese
Needless to say fans were surprised to see Id’ bringing his skills to the new Universal Pictures spin-off. Probably no one was more stunned than Tyrese though. But just if he wasn’t, fans are ensuring that he is now. They’ve been crackin’ a few online jokes, at Tyrese’s expense, about Idris coming in to take his spot, so to speak.

Recap Of Tyrese’s Past Beef With Johnson
In November 2017, when Tyrese was still going through some serious heartache as he battled his ex-wife, Norma Gibson over the custody of their daughter, he also basted The Rock for putting him in a tough spot financially:

Tyrese: “I was never mad at The Rock – I was just mad that he was ‘pitched’ an idea privately and said yes to it without thinking of what I’m dealing with personally I’m almost broke paying legal fees and is doing what we committed to doing for the #FastFans and #FastFamily cause the fast is tradition it’s not just another Movie Fast was created to COUNTER images of racism to counter that WE ARE NOT ONE RACE…… So the rock how does it feel bro?…. going home to your daughter every night…. it’s was 60 days before I seen my baby….. and all I asked you to do ‘privately’ was NOT accept a role that would deeply effect us all……. You are simply NOT the people’s champ….. you are a selfish champ….. I’m almost broke swimming in legal fees CAA tried but couldn’t book me anything cause my ex wife killed my reputation so no one wants to hire me.. It’s not about I know I know I know right?? Says the man on the Forbes list.. Make sure you kiss your 2 daughters when you get home I wish I could but I can’t afford to fight for my baby anymore so they’re likely going to take her away……. Thanks Dewayne see you guys in 2020 and I will not delete this post cause the TRUTH of selfish people in Hollywood needs to be mentioned……………… to this day Dewayne has NOT called me back as u see me crying every 3 hours over my baby know #ShaylaRocks”
