The actor shared a snap of himself, alongside Dwayne and fellow star Vin Diesel, and wrote, “Hello world. hello loyal fans and loved ones from OUR fast universe. 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’’ #CandyAssB***h Made All my real one.(sic)”

The response comes after the actor previously accused 45-year-old Dwayne of abandoning the Fast and Furious family to “fly solo”.

The feud stems from Johnson’s decision to pursue a spin-off movie with Jason Statham, which has delayed the production of the ninth Fast & Furious instalment.

Speculation of a feud between the male co-stars first surfaced last year when Dwayne slammed unnamed actors for the way they allegedly acted on set.

In his rant, the star praised his female co-stars, Charlize Theron, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez, but admitted it was a ‘’different story’’ working with the guys.
