It's important to note, though, that some fans do not think they are at odds with one another. Some have pointed out that this may all be for the show.
Their beef has to be for the cameras, there’s no way 😭

Meanwhile, another theorized that Diesel wants The Rock back on the franchise which is why he's "making nice."
Because Vin wants him back for another Fast and Furious movie lol he recently posted about it on his Instagram so he’s trying to make amends and play nice lol
