The 38-year-old rapper and actor, alongside fellow co-star Vin Diesel, has long been warring with Dwayne over the popular movie franchise ever since the former wrestler slammed some unnamed 'Fast and Furious' stars on social media in 2016.
Now, following the news that production of 'Fast and Furious 9' has been delayed until 2020, but a spin-off movie starring Dwayne and Jason Statham is expected in 2019, Tyrese has slammed the star for making the franchise "about" him.
In a rant posted on Instagram, Tyrese wrote: "#PSA 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 (sic)"
And Tyrese also poked fun at Dwayne's 'Baywatch' remake, which was a commercial flop.
He continued: "#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 (sic)"
Vin Diesel, 50, is also seemingly unhappy with the delayed production, as he also took to Instagram to post a picture of himself with Tyrese and the late Paul Walker - who died in a single vehicle collision in 2013 - which was simply captioned: "Brotherhood..."
Tyrese then reposted the picture, and seemingly slammed Dwayne, 45, for "flying solo" on the spin-off project, when he believes the franchise stars should stick together.
He wrote: "#Repost #SwipeLeft - @VinDiesel - Never confuse determination with desperation..... What's understood don't have to be explained...... 44 million just got the memo.... Although it appears to be.... I've never been in this alone........ #PerceptionVsReality #FastFamily like I said we don't fly solo. President Obama's integrity teachings is of a man who makes everyone feel like they MATTER..... (sic)"
And the rapper didn't stop there, as he even took to Dwayne's own Instagram account to continue his rant in the comments of one of his posts.
He wrote: "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. (sic)"
Speculation of a feud between the male co-stars first surfaced when Dwayne slammed unnamed actors for the way they allegedly acted on set.
In his rant, the star praised his female co-stars, Charlize Theron, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez, but admitted it was a "different story" working with the guys.
He wrote: "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 s**t to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses. (sic)"
