For those that missed it, there have been several media reports about The Rock going off on fellow “Fast 8” cast members. It wasn’t clear who he was talking about at first but apparently his beef is with fellow co-star/producer Vin Diesel.
Rock said the following in a post on Instagram on Monday night:
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.

TMZ confirmed with sources that he was talking about Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel and The Rock are producers and they have been butting heads over creative. Both men had a secret meeting on Tuesday in an attempt to squash their beef and TMZ’s report said that tensions were so high that it was almost impossible to shoot scenes. There’s no word on if their issues have been resolved but almost the entire cast was angry at Rock for causing a stir just a week before the end of shooting.
