The action star took to Twitter to highlight the film’s encouraging box office numbers Hobbs & Shaw — which also stars Jason Statham — pulled in and we can pretty much guess who he was sending the message to. On August 11, The Rock sent out the first jab by sharing a Deadline article with the updated box office numbers with the movie raking in $333 million worldwide. “Not too bad of WEEK 1 box office business. Thanks everyone around the world for having a great time and supporting our little spin-off,” Not too bad of WEEK 1 box office business.

Instead of sharing another article, he posted a commercial boasting the film being number one in the world… AGAIN. “Thank you everyone for makin’ this an exciting first week of box office for our lil’ spin-off @ hobbsandshaw . #1 movie and $333M worldwide, ain’t too shabby. And remember, the best way to shut the mouth of a clown is to flex with success and a smile.” Thank you everyone for makin’ this an exciting first week of box office for our lil’ spin-off @hobbsandshaw . #1 movie and $333M worldwide, ain’t too shabby.

Earlier in the month, the singer/actor posted and deleted some Instagram shade and shared a misleading article insisting his previous thoughts about the spinoff movie were correct. All this despite the movie debuting at no.1 at the box office that weekend.

Tyrese will only be saltier when the film opens internationally in South Korea, Greece and China adding to films already hefty haul. Photo: VCG / Getty
