Tyrese being butthurt about The Rock being more famous than him is like him being mad at the sun for being hotter than him: no shit dude — is this really a battle you want to pick?
Tyrese Gibson has been taking shots at the Rock on Instagram for delaying his only source of income the NINTH Fast & Furious movie until 2020. He simply just can’t relate to being a successful actor and having a busy schedule and is responding by lashing out at the Rock. Cotton, that’s what we call a bold strategy.
I’m not a numbers guy, but here are some #analytics for you:
–The first four Fast & Furious movies, the ones without the Rock, earned a combined $761,000,000 worldwide. Certainly, nothing to sneeze at.
–But the last four Fast & Furious movies, the ones with the Rock, have made approximately $4 BILLION WORLDWIDE — more than four times the Rock-less movies.
So, were of the opinion that Tyrese should be do everything he can to keep the Rock — AKA Tyrese’s daddy — happy. Not taking lame shots on Instagram like this:
“Congratulations to @TheRockand 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 #3yrswill it be worth the wait? #NoShaw just Hobbs will this be another #BayWatch? Guys guys just relax I’m just a passionate film critic”

And then another post, this time of the original Fast & Furious cast, back when it was an underground movie that wasn’t making billions of dollars thanks to the Rock.
Diversity, love, multi ethnic worldwide multi generational, United Nations, One Race, Fast Family…… Until Dewayne showed up I guess this whole time he had a problem cause he wasn’t the ONLY ONE on the movie poster……….. I guess dreams do come true congratulations to @hhgarcia41 and @therock you guys are just amazing you really broke up the #FastFamily I tried to warn you guys… You thought I was hating…… I was simply fighting to keep the family together what makes us great is when you see us all TOGETHER we don’t fly solo….. #MyLastPost today….. I got 3 years of venting on this clown – They offered but YOU didn’t have to agree with a solo #HobbsMovie #OriginalFastFamilywe salute you and stand on your shoulders #VinDiesel #PaulWalker #RobCohen #RomanTej were offered a spin off we TURNED IT DOWN!!!

Just a truly weak displayed from a washed-up C-list actor clinging to his last remaining claim to fame. At this rate, it wouldn’t surprise me if he was written out of the franchise — the Rock is the alpha and the omega, and Tyrese is … actually, who the f*ck is Tyrese?
If anything, the delay to Fast 2167 is keeping him in the public eye for longer than he deserves.
