– Life & Style Weekly has an article up on their website claiming to have information from “an insider” in regards to the alleged Fast & Furious feud between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin Diesel.
Here is an excerpt from the article in regards to the alleged hoax of a feud:
In the latest issue of Life & Style, an insider reveals that while there is some truth to the recent rivalry between Fast & Furious stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin Diesel, the beef is largely a publicity stunt to amp up drama for a WWE wrestling match — and to help promote the April 2017 release of Fast 8.
“They are playing a huge prank, and it’s all for publicity,” the insider shares.
The “insider” goes on to say:
The Rock convinced Vin to amp up the drama between them so they could turn it into a WWE match to help promote the April 2017 release of Fast 8
