Tyrese threatens to quit Fast & Furious 

If Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is going to be a part of Fast & Furious, then Tyrese Gibson’s character, Roman Pearce may be gone.

Tyrese took to Instagram on Wednesday to throw pointed shades at Dwayne calling him a clown, “I’m sorry to announce that if Dewayne is in Fast9 there will no more Roman Peirce – You mess with family and my daughters survival I mess with yours……… close your eyes dude you’re a “Clown”…… #CandyAssBitchMade”

The singer and actor has been in a longstanding feud with Dwayne Johnson over the latter’s decision to appear in a spinoff that led to the rescheduling of Fast 9’s release date.
