“Despite us having our differences, me and Vin, we’ve been like brothers for years,” Dwayne elaborated in an accompanying video. "Despite having our differences, when you lead with the idea of, No. 1, resolve...you just think about the future."

"You think about plans that are much bigger than ourselves and those bigger plans are the bigger build outs. Those bigger plans are the north star, as I always like to say."

Dwayne's comments are quite the 180 from his since-deleted IG post back in 2016, where he referred to Vin as a "candy ass."

“Some conduct themselves as stand-up men and true professionals, while others don’t,” he said at the time, prior to the release of The Fate of the Furious.

“The ones that don’t are too chicken shit to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses. When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I’m not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling — you’re right.”
