Things turned sour in 2017 after he blamed Dwayne for delaying the release of the ninth installment of the franchise due to his spinoff film Hobbs & Shaw.
‘I just got a problem with Dwayne. It appears that he’s being selfish, it appears that he’s so focused on furthering his own self-interests,’ he said to TMZ in 2017.
Tyrese also threatened to quit the franchise if Dwayne appeared in the ninth film during an Instagram rant.
Soon after that Tyrese claimed he was ‘never mad’ at him.
Dwayne spoke out about it in 2018 during his appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen: ‘We haven’t talked at all. That whole thing with Tyrese, it was pretty disappointing because I’ve been friends with Tyrese for a very long time. And, you know, I always feel like a beef requires two people to actually jump in it, and it was really one-sided and he had voiced his opinion a lot on social media.’
He added that he felt like there was ‘no need to have a conversation’ with Tyrese.

In June 2021, Tyrese revealed that he and Dwayne ‘reconnect in a real way,’ during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, per Us Weekly.
‘We’ve been on the phone every other day. We reconnect in a real way. I think we’re both better men on the other side of all that stuff that went down. To be honest, I didn’t know how the phone call would happen. Bit it did happen and we’re about 20 phone calls in. We’re in a competition right now on who can leave the longest voice note.’
On Monday, Tyrese, 43, shared a video of him holding his mom’s hand at the hospital as he cried.
In between tears, he said in the video: ‘Rest in Peace mom. You fought. Oh my God I’m so sorry this happened. Jesus. I’m going to hold your hand for the rest of my life . Everywhere I go, I’m going to hold your hand. It’s the way you held my hand as a kid. Every journey this life takes me to from here on. You’re going to hold my hand ok?’
His mom died following a week of being hospitalized from both COVID-19 and pneumonia.

Tyrese added a touching note to the video, thanking everyone for their prayers for his mother.
