Dwayne Johnson is celebrating the box office success ofHobbs & Shaw. TheFast and Furiousspin-off has now reached over $716 million globally. When the early box office predictions came in for the spin-off, nearly all of them predicted a slow burn, which has proven to be the case. However, some of Johnson’s former co-stars, including Tyrese Gibson, took glee in learning thatHobbs & Shawwas the lowest debut since 2006’sTokyo Drift. Now, Johnson is firing back against the “clowns” and “candy asses.”
As usual,Dwayne Johnsondoesn’t name anyone in his latest social media post celebrating the box office success ofHobbs & Shaw. With that being said, it’s clear who he is referring to in his celebratory message. One can even tell from looking at the hashtags alone that Johnson is out to ruffle some feathers with his post. The hashtags include: “hardest workers in the room,” “hungry humble,” and most importantly, “no candy asses.” you’re able to read the post below.
“Assassins quietly play chessloud clownsplay checkers. Thank you audiences worldwide for this incredible support and massive win. Very cool and we’re grateful for the love.”
Fans of theFast and Furiousfranchise were quick to pick up on what Dwayne Johnson was laying down in hisHobbs Shawpost. Tyrese Gibson took glee in finding out that the spin-off was off to a slow start and called Johnson out for being selfish. Gibson went even further and asked if the movie was going to be anotherBaywatchfor Johnson, which was a pretty decent dig. However, the actor may feel a bit humbled now thatHobbs & Shawhas become such a big success, even beatingAvengers: Endgamewith four consecutive weeks at the number one spot globally.
Dwayne Johnson seemingly first replied toTyrese Gibson’s commentsback when they occurred. “The best way to shut the mouth of a (clown emoji) is to flex with success and a smile,” said Johnson. Now, he’s bringing the clown back and using the term “candy asses,” which he has used many times to indirectly talk smack on hisFast and Furiousfamily. Whatever the case may be, the feud is still going strong amongst the former co-stars.
