According to People, the "candy ass" that Johnson was reportedly referring to was his costar Diesel. "Tension has been building up for months," a source told the publication. "Vin has been having problems with The Rock because The Rock keeps showing up late for production. Sometimes he doesn't show up at all and he's delaying the production."
However, Page Six claimed that Diesel's "diva behaviour was to blame." "Vin and Dwayne have been butting heads through the production of 'Fast 8,'" an insider revealed. "Vin has a reputation for being difficult — he shows up late, keeps people waiting, holds up production, and is disrespectful to people on the set. Dwayne lost his patience with him."
