'I've been influenced by rap my entire upbringing': Alabama Barker defends herself against rap video criticism

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Alabama Barker has slammed her online haters after she was criticized for posting an unreleased rap song on TikTok last week and called out for something she’s not fit doing. The daughter of Travis Barker later deleted the video. "I'm tired of people saying I don't know anything about rap music, I wasn't raised around rap music, I wasn't anything," she said. Alabama added, "So, let's take a little field day into my life because you guys know it so well."

The 17-year-old then posted a photo of herself as a young child posting alongside Nicki Minaj while her dad went on opening the slot alongside the ‘Super Bass’ rapper and Rick Ross during Lil Wayne’s I am Music II Tour in 2011.

"So, the first thing that I'm going to point out is this tour. This tour was when I was about five years old," recalled Alabama. "[I was] 5 years old watching her set every day. I knew every lyric," Alabama said before sharing the next photo her posing with Wayne followed by the single cover for ‘Gimme Brain’ by Travis, Wayne and Rick Ross.

'I went to Rihanna's music video'

"Another song I knew by heart when I was like 5 years old," she said. (The track actually dropped in 2019 when Alabama was about 13), reports People. "I went to Rihanna's music video when she shot the 'Umbrella' song, I believe — or one of her songs. So, another song I loved," continued Alabama. The TikTok clip had Alabama lip-syncing to a snippet of a rap song and fans quickly noticed that it was original audio.

'But listen who the f--- y'all talking to'

"But listen who the f*** y'all talking to / I'm Alabama, get to know me, I might s*** on you," Alabama rapped in the audio. "Treat me like your momma, drip me out in some designer, ice me out like boy, I'm wildin' / You know the type of energy, don't treat me like it's 10 to me / You better not be textin', treat your exes like your enemies." She went on, "You know you got me / I'm ridin' 'round in shotty, you right beside me / You feelin' all up on me."

Alabama said, "Since I could walk, I was in the music industry. I was watching my dad perform in punk bands, rock bands, in rap concerts, everything. I've been influenced by rap my entire upbringing and punk rock."
