Tyrese Gibson responds to Dwayne Johnson's post slamming his male "Fast 8" co-stars

Tyrese Gibson wants the world to know that he and his "Fast 8" co-star, Dwayne Johnson, are all good.

And he definitely wants everyone to know that Johnson wasn't talking about him in his heated Facebook post earlier this week slamming unidentified male co-stars.

Speculation immediately began about which co-star or co-stars Johnson might be talking about, so Gibson took to Instagram to assure everyone he and the Rock were on great terms.

"Why are you guys so impressionable? A man wouldn't be singing from his heart and soul to another mans little angel if he had a problem with her dad," Gibson wrote alongside a video of Johnson singing to his daughter, Shayla.

"DJ happens to be one of the most humble, down to earth and professional people I've ever worked with and more importantly he's my brother we have NEVER had a problem and will never have a problem."

But that didn't mean Gibson didn't have his own thoughts about Johnson posting his rant in the first place. And surprisingly, the "Transformers" star was miffed that his colleague didn't go even further and name names.

"Would one assume that IF he's going to jump out there and generalize and say 'Male Co-Stars' he would be more clear and call out names??? Of course he should of," Gibson wrote. "Let me calm you guys all the way down........ I don't know WHO he has a problem [with] and I don't have any details of WHAT those problems are - as a matter of fact if I DID know I would tell you s**t!!!"

"I'm personally not doing this for anyone but my brother Paul Walker. This franchise is not about and has #Never been about anyone of us individually it's about the #FASTFAMILY - the TRIBE."

Shortly after posting his thoughts, Gibson deleted the Instagram video.

As for who Johnson was actually talking about, a source has told TMZ that the culprit is actually franchise star Vin Diesel. The two actors reportedly had a secret meeting Tuesday on the "Fast 8" set in Atlanta to work things out, as "tensions were running so high it was almost impossible to shoot scenes."
