Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was none too thrilled when someone dissed his proud announcement of a Jumanji sequel on Twitter the other day.
Johnson wrote in a tweet, “DECEMBER 13th, 2019. The game is not over… And I get to slap @KevinHart4real’s lips into next week. The world is once again VERY happy. #JUMANJI.”

Very exciting news, right? I said, RIGHT?! Yeah, well, anyway, not everyone was excited. Especially one of the members of the English pop punk band Busted, Charlie Simpson, who tweeted, “Oh dear… I wonder if it will be the second worst film ever made??”

This response did not sit well with The Rock so he shot back, “Haha I have a fun idea – how bout you watch it with us and tell us your thoughts. Then we listen to your music and we’ll tell you ours. You know, face to face like real men do instead of yapping on Twitter.”

Then the guy who got the whole silly beef rolling jumped back into the conversation…
Oh shit I’ve landed you in it Charlie, my bad. 😂😂 Busted vs The Rock twitter war!

It’d actually be a pleasure to meet you Rock and I actually liked Jumanji, how about listening to my music? (Shameless plug) https://t.co/kWs2dGVCay

This seemed to lighten The Rock’s mood a little bit.
Haha never any shame in hustling to get your music heard dude. I dig it. Crumble. At sec 40 you surprised me by slowing tempo down. Bad ass. Congrats 👊🏾 pic.twitter.com/B4I57soDEu

Thanks Dwayne, you’ve no idea how much I appreciate this 😊😊

No hard feelings, I guess.
Haha sorry to disappoint but I don’t do Twitter ‘beef’, it’s lame. I actually think @TheRock seems like a really rad dude. Just wasn’t a fan of the movie. Subjective opinions and all that. Respect none the less 👊

Ummm @charliesimo picks fights with all the best people. On the plus side @TheRock is keen to hear the next album 👍 #Album4 pic.twitter.com/veveNBLFtG
