The DJ Envy and Tyrese Gibson dispute has taken a new turn as the "Fast & Furious" star called out the DJ over assertions he made about Gibson disrespecting his wife.

The actor disputed Envy's claims while addressing the whole drama in a lengthy Instagram video, even going as far as providing "receipts" to prove he was never disrespectful.

Gibson presented text messages from the past year to refute Envy's statement that they blocked him until a month ago.

"If your wife blocked me, if you blocked me, how are we communicating on anything?" Gibson asked before going on to state that Envy's claims were a "f**king lie."

He Says He Would Never Disrespect A Colleague's Partner

Gibson also provided a different perspective, explaining that DJ Envy's timeline regarding his behavior on psych meds doesn't align with any alleged disrespect towards Envy's wife.

Just last month, Gibson expressed his frustration over the substantial financial burden he faced in his recent child support case with his ex-wife in his latest song, "Love Transaction."

According to TMZ, in the new track, the "Fast and Furious" alum didn't hold back in addressing what he sees as his estranged wife, Samantha Lee's, approach when she took him to court earlier this year for money.

In August of the previous year, the "Baby Boy" actor had been ordered to pay Lee and her attorneys a significant sum of $636,000 after initially refusing to pay the court-ordered $10,000. This led to his contempt of court in April, where he was compelled to settle his debts.

Last month, Gibson, accompanied by two associates known for providing construction services to him, initiated legal action against The Home Depot.

The lawsuit alleged that the trio faced "outrageous discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling" during a visit to The Home Depot's West Hills, California store in February.

Gibson and plaintiffs Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez are pursuing damages exceeding $1 million, reflective of his lifetime expenditures at Home Depot locations. They are also seeking punitive damages and a declaratory judgment asserting that Home Depot's actions violated California's Unruh Civil Rights Act.

The lawsuit alleges that when Gibson, Mora, and Hernandez visited The Home Depot's West Hills location on Feb. 11, Tyrese decided to wait in his car while the others used his credit card for their purchase when fans recognized him in the store.

Although Gibson told the cashier they could use his credit card, the lawsuit claims the cashier refused, citing "store policy" and demanded ID. The manager wouldn't speak with Gibson, leading to a heated discussion with the cashier before completing the transaction.

According to People magazine, the lawsuit alleges racial profiling based on their skin color and, for Mora and Hernandez, their national origin, accusing employees of interfering with the purchase.
