It looks like Tyrese Gibson may finally be seeing the error of his ways.
This week the singer sat down for a new interview with TMZ‘s Van Lahan on Lathan’s The Red Pill podcast, and opens up about why he accused his ‘Fast & Furious’ costar of being selfish when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s spin-off movie shoot schedule pushed back the release date of ‘Furious 9.’
At the time Tyrese took several personal shots at Johnson on social media. But now he says he shouldn’t have aired out his beef with 46-year-old Johnson in public. He also maintains that while he wasn’t the only one pissed off at The Rock the way he expressed his frustrations was unprofessional.

Taking Responsibility
“I found myself being the messenger on behalf of various people associated to the franchise, but stupid me was the only one who went public about those feelings, which is my own fault,” he says. “It’s not professional, it’s not cool.”
Tyrese once again claims the psychiatric medication he was taking at the time was largely responsible for his inappropriate actions.
“I don’t really recall anything that [Johnson] either said directly or subliminally being as big a deal as the way I was going at him which was not cool,” he says. “There’s a way of going about communicating and dealing with issues. There’s issues on all movie sets and TV shows. I do regret those psych meds and letting that stuff influence me. It’s like being drunk, you gotta say exactly how you feel and you’re not in your right state of mind.”

What’s Beef?
During a July 12th appearance Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen Johnson addressed his feud with Gibson after a caller asked if they’ve spoken.
“The answer is no. No, we haven’t talked at all,” Johnson said. “That whole thing with Tyrese, it was pretty disappointing because I’d been friends with Tyrese for a very long time. I always feel like a beef requires two people to actually jump in it. It was really one-sided, and he had voiced his opinion a lot on social media and apparently he was going through some stuff too in his personal life, but no, we haven’t talked and I don’t see where we would.”
“To me, there’s no need to have a conversation,” he added.
