Johnson was a college football player for the University of Miami, with whom he won a national championship in 1991. He aspired to a professional career in football and entered the 1995 NFL Draft, but went undrafted. He signed with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL), but was cut from the team in his first season. Shortly after, he began training as a professional wrestler.[10]

In 1996, Johnson secured a contract with the WWF and was promoted as the first third-generation wrestler in WWF history, as he is the son of Rocky Johnson and grandson of Peter Maivia.[3] He rose to prominence after developing the charismatic, boastful, trash-talking Rock persona. He won his first WWF Championship in 1998 and helped usher in the Attitude Era, an industry boom period in the late 1990s and early 2000s.[11] In 2004, he left the WWE to pursue an acting career. He returned in 2011 as a part-time performer until 2013, and made sporadic appearances until retiring in 2019.[12]

Considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers and biggest wrestling draws of all time,[13][14] Johnson headlined the most-bought professional wrestling pay-per-view event ever (WrestleMania XXVIII) and was featured among the most watched episodes of WWE's two flagship television shows (Raw and SmackDown).[15][16] He is a two-time Intercontinental Champion, a five-time tag team champion, a 10-time world champion,[17] a Royal Rumble match winner, and WWE's sixth Triple Crown champion.

Johnson's first leading film role was in The Scorpion King (2002). He has since starred in many successful films, including The Game Plan (2007), Tooth Fairy (2010), Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012), G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013), Hercules (2014), San Andreas (2015), Central Intelligence, Moana (both 2016), Rampage, and Skyscraper (both 2018). His role as Luke Hobbs in Fast & Furious, beginning with Fast Five (2011), helped it become one of the highest-grossing film franchises.[18] Johnson also stars in the Jumanji franchise, appearing in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019).

Johnson produced and starred in the HBO series Ballers (2015–2019), which ran for five seasons and was ranked as HBO's most-watched comedy in six years.[19] He has also attained success as a television host.[20][21] In 2000, he released the autobiography The Rock Says, a New York Times bestseller.[22][23] In 2012, he founded the production company Seven Bucks Productions, which has produced several films and other entertainment projects.[24] Consistently ranked among the world's highest-paid actors,[25] Johnson made the Time 100 Most Influential People in the World list in 2016 and 2019,[26][27] and is the co-owner of the American football league, the XFL.[28][29]

The rock next movies 

need to classify Dwayne Johnson. The man isn't just blowing up at the multiplex. He's capturing the explosion in a headlock, pile-driving it into the ground, cracking a joke as he does so, then finishing us off with his trademark, 1,000-watt mega-smile. If we're lucky, he'll even arch an eyebrow, just to remind us that this is The Rock's world. We're only renting space for a limited time.

Given his status, it should come as no surprise that Dwayne Johnson has numerous movies heading to theaters in the near future, all of which sound like they will keep the one-time wrestler and current big-screen phenom in the blockbuster business for years. Because we know that you love The Rock as much as we love The Rock, we've built this guide to keep track of all of the actor's upcoming films – including those that are still making their way through development and will still require quite a lot of work before they are ready to hit theaters. Which of these are you most interested in seeing? Scroll down through the list, and then hit the comments section to highlight your favorites.

Jungle Cruise
Just when we all thought Mr. Movie Star couldn't fit any more movies or TV shows into his packed schedule...he surprised us all and worked Jungle Cruise into his life. The movie, which is based on the Disneyland ride of the same name, finished filming in early June 2019, but is taking an extra minute to arrive in theaters. While it was originally scheduled to be released in summer 2020, it has since been pushed back to summer 2021. The film co-stars Emily Blunt, Jack Whitehall, Paul Giamatti, and more.

Release date: July 30, 2021

Red Notice
Netflix doesn't dabble a lot in the action blockbuster game given that it's challenging to compete with the big screen experience when it comes to that genre, but they have a massive project in the works that has Dwayne Johnson at the center of it – with two of the world's biggest stars serving as co-leads. The film features Johnson as an INTERPOL agent on the hunt for the world's most wanted art thief, and joining him for the ride will be Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds. Rawson Marshall Thurber, who previously helmed Central Intelligence and Skyscraper, is reuniting with The Rock for the project, and while production plans were interrupted in early 2020, there are plans to have the movie available streaming in 2021.

Release date: 2021

Black Adam
DC and Warner Bros. locked up Dwayne Johnson in the role of Black Adam in a Shazam movie several years ago, but many things changed behind the scenes. Originally, the plan was for Johnson to play the bad guy/anti-hero in Shazam's big screen debut, but in January 2017 it was revealed that there was a new plan, one that would see the character get his own movie and not appear in Shazam!. That hero-centric feature has since been made, and a sequel is on the way, but Black Adam is also now gaining steam. Jungle Cruise's Jaume Collet-Serra is set to direct the project, and filming is scheduled to start in late summer 2020.

Release date: December 22, 2021

San Andreas 2
After the above titles, we start to get speculative, as nothing else on The Rock's calendar has an actual release date or production plans... just a lot of chatter, and updates from the actor's camp on project possibilities. San Andreas 2 is a no-brainer, as the first movie earned a whopping $473 million in global ticket sales. Rumors at the time of the sequel's announcement had Dwayne Johnson's character – an LAFD search-and-rescue helicopter pilot – going up against the Ring of Fire... which means The Rock is going to punch earthquakes around the globe? As of April 2020 the project is still in development, and Alexandra Daddario is said that she is still game to do the film.

Doc Savage
Writer/director Shane Black most recently finished The Predator, a reboot of that popular franchise which was released on September 14, 2018, and while it's not entirely clear what feature project he is going to tackle next, there is hope that he will soon get around to making his Doc Savage movie, based on the classic pulp magazine adventurer. Shortly after the Doc Savage news broke, The Rock teased a collaboration with Black that he would film in 2017. While some rights issues have stopped the film from getting underway as quickly as Black and Dwayne Johnson had hoped, the latter did confirm in early 2018 that they're still working on the project. Hopefully everything will be worked out and the film will eventually get made.

Big Trouble in Little China
Back in 2015, Dwayne Johnson confirmed plans to make a new version of Big Trouble in Little China – one that is promised to be a continuation of the John Carpenter-directed cult classic that won't feature Johnson as Kurt Russell's iconic hero Jack Burton. The actor has been saying all the right things about respecting the source material and honoring the work of both Carpenter and Russell, though neither of those guys are totally cool with the idea of the film being remade. We actually haven't heard anything about this project since mid-2018, but it's apparently something that's still in the works and a movie that The Rock really wants to get made. It seems that finding time to get it done is the biggest challenge.

The King
One of the coolest things about Dwayne Johnson's career is the work that he has done to bring more attention to Samoan culture – honoring his own roots and teaching audiences about a people who don't get a lot of focus in pop culture. Titles that stand out in this regard are Moana and Hobbs & Shaw, but soon he will have the opportunity to bring a real piece of history to the big screen. In 2018, The Rock made a deal to team up with directors Husain El-Minbawi and Robert Zemeckis to try and make The King, a developing biopic that will star Johnson as King Kamehameha and follow his mission in the late 18th century to unite the islands of Hawaii. This is the kind of project we expect that Johnson will work hard to get made, though exactly when he'll have time to do it is currently unknown.

Rema Rants On Twitter, Addresses Critics And Music Style
By Michael Bamidele |   28 September 2020   |   3:06 pm  

Rema

Barely minutes after announcing his 100 million streams milestone Audiomack, Rema went on a rage Kanye West style on his Twitter page.

In the emotional outpour, the 20-year-old singer-songwriter touched a number of issues from critics, management, the girl who rejected him, his first engineer who ran away, ‘Iron Man’ and producer, Ozedikus.

Born Divine Ikubor, Rema gained prominence with the song “Iron Man” which was featured on former US president Barack Obama’s 2019 summer playlist just barely five months after signing a record deal.

“Ni**as don’t wanna see a kid win, they feel I got it too easy,” he tweeted. “I shower with my sweat, we go off on this side like the days in BENIN it got nun to do with my deal, come and sign these papers without a hustler spirit, you gone lose! Management gone change my password now lol.

“I climbed this cliff with bunch of rejected beats. Some niggas hate me because of that. When we in the same room together don’t label me proud or rude because I don’t smile, talk or laugh to your jokes.”

Elsewhere, he addressed critics of his music style: “Niggas label my music rubbish because I infuse my Edo language. Because I didn’t follow the usual guidelines to music, because I hacked Afrobeats with God given melodies, they called it ‘Indian’ because they DO NOT UNDERSTAND ME. I’m not of this world, know this now!”

Rema thanked Obama for “seeing what I saw in Ironman” adding that a lot of people “couldn’t”. He revealed that he was 18 years old when he made the song whose beat has “6 sounds.” Rema bragged that he will give “that simple beat” to half of the industry and he wouldn’t get a record “as strong as IRONMAN”.

“Ni**as feel I’m disrespectful, they want me to alert them before I drop,” Rema tweeted. Adding that he had made millions before the fame. “Let no man feel this money changing me.”

The “Dumebi” singer was discovered by Don Jazzy’s biological brother, D’Prince, who told him he was the “chosen one”.

“I told D’prince sir I’m making money where I’m at I think I’m good. D’prince said to me stop what you’re doing and come to me boy ‘you’re the chosen one’, this music shit is gonna pay if you trust me!

“I done did Melodies that never existed in this world, go listen to my records. I swear them engineers thought I was crazy when I say turn off the auto tune.”

He took a shot at an unnamed girl who had rejected him before he became famous: “To the girl who rejected me before this fame, I’m eating the royalties off this pain. (WHY)”

“Ozedikus took risks for me, he was under a management with guidelines. He sneaked beats to me so I could record when my first engineer left me because we couldn’t pay him at the time. All the beats Ozedikus sneaked are now HITS.”

Rema also revealed he stole a laptop from someone named Eric in 2017. “Eric, Sorry I stole your Laptop in 2017, I know you were trying to help me. My Mom had a child on the way, I was the only man in my family. They made fun of her because she got pregnant, I wanted to prove them wrong bro, I had to do it.”

The “Iron Man” singer also spoke about losing his brother, saying people only love him because he has something to offer: “When my late brother did house parties y’all came, when he died only 2 friends stood beside his death bed. That’s why I’m not comfortable around people, they love me because I have something to offer, You know yourselves don’t let me catch you!!!”
