Alabama Barker Hit Back At Critics Of Her Rap Music By Talking About Dad Travis Barker’s Music Connections
Alabama Barker reacted to online critics of her fledgling rap career.
Alabama Barker / Via tiktok.comAccording to People, in a now-deleted TikTok, Alabama further addressed criticism by saying, “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. So, let’s take a little field day into my life because you guys know it so well.”
Patricia Schlein / GC ImagesAlabama then proceeded to show photos of her alongside artists like Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Rick Ross, and A$AP Ferg (all of whom have various music connections to Travis).
Lester Cohen / Getty Images for NARAS“So, the first thing that I’m going to point out is this tour. This tour was when I was about 5 years old,” Alabama reportedly said, referring to the 2011 Lil Wayne I Am Music II Tour — which featured Travis, Nicki, and Rick as opening acts.
Kevin Mazur / WireImage“[I was] 5 years old watching [Nicki’s] set every day. I knew every lyric.”
Imeh Akpanudosen / Getty ImagesShe continued with a photo of the single cover for “Gimme Brain” by Travis, Wayne, and Rick Ross. “Another song I knew by heart when I was like 5 years old,” she said (although the track actually dropped in 2019, when she was 13).
Denise Truscello / WireImageShe further described going on the 2019 Blink-182 and Lil Wayne Tour, saying, “Every night I would watch the Wayne show when I was like 11 years old.”
Frazer Harrison / Getty Images for BET“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,” she continued. “So, for the people that say, ‘Oh, she doesn’t know anything about rap music. She didn’t grow up around rap music. Why is she doing this? Why is she doing that?’ I’ve been influenced by rap my entire upbringing and punk rock.”
Johnny Nunez / Getty Images for BET“I know I am privileged, and I’m beyond grateful for that and blessed. It’s not okay for people to make fun of or disrespect any culture at all. So, if me being a rapper bugs you, then you can just keep moving and stop commenting.”
