The Fast and Furious franchise has always been about family, and like any family, there are occasions when important members disagree. It's the conflict between brand leader Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, one of the greatest movie stars in the world. While Diesel has been with the franchise since the beginning, Johnson was brought in for the fifth series, arguably revived it, and stayed for a few sequels and a spinoff.
Both members of the Fast Family are significant in their own way, but what do you do if you're a family member who is forced to choose sides? Ludacris, who has featured Tej in the Fast and Furious franchise for over a decade, doesn't think so, but he knows that this is a delicate situation.

Ludacris addressed the feud and the ongoing tension between the two stars in an interview with "US Weekly." Ludacris certainly has intimate knowledge of the incident, and it appears that his position is that these are two mature adults about whom he will not speak too much.

"All I can say is that there are two mature guys, from what I understand." I believe The Rock has said something about that, and I'm not going to speak for any of them. So, because it's a delicate situation, I'd leave it to whatever their words are and keep it that way, ” He said.
Ludacris' position on the subject is perhaps the best to take. Johnson and Diesel have a dispute, and at the end of the day, he's simply there to perform his job and avoid getting involved in any bullshit that may emerge. That isn't to imply that the situation isn't awkward. These are two men that undoubtedly demand a certain amount of respect, and I'm sure egos play a role in all of this, so it's probably like seeing mom and dad battle over some of the co-stars. Which side are you on? It's probably better if you just stay away.
