Alabama Barker has seemingly responded to Bhad Bhabie’s new look, telling fans “imitation is the best form of flattery” in a timely Instagram update on Thursday.
Bama, who in 2023 appeared alongside her father Travis Barker in an episode of Complex’s GOAT Talk, has been in a public back-and-forth with Bhabie for some time now. If you’ve missed out on the riveting spectacle, fear not: We’ve got a rundown tucked into this post a little further down the page.
As for the latest, Bhabie recently debuted a new look, with the focus falling on the blonde hair and the chosen makeup style. Expectedly, this alone was enough to make headlines of the usual “dramatic transformation” variety. Now, Barker appears to have addressed the look, which fans had already speculated was meant as a trolling, of sorts.
“Imitation is the best form of flattery,” Barker wrote in an IG Stories update. “Some people are working overtime, while I’m just keeping it moving. It’s done. Thanks for all the love though.”
For now, Bhad Bhabie hasn't responded to Barker’s remarks, which notably did not see her mentioning Bhabie directly. Still, the intention seems clear. As for that rundown we promised above, here’s a bit of what’s unfolded across several months’ worth of headlines, summarized for your perusal:
In December, Alabama refuted (in detail) Bhabie’s claim that Le Vaughn, the father of Bhabie's child, had been involved with Bama at one point. This led to similar claims from Bhabie involving Soulja Boy and Tyga. These claims were also swiftly refuted. By February, the feud had entered the realm of diss tracks, including Barker’s “Cry Bhabie.”
A recent TikTok update would suggest that Bhabie's blonde transformation was indeed temporary, as seen below.
