Alabama Barker, the 19-year-old daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, has once again found herself at the center of a heated social media debate. A recent selfie of her posing with Los Angeles rapper X4, posted on No Jumper’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, has gone viral, garnering over 15 million views.
While some fans supported the young socialite’s choice to associate with the up-and-coming artist, others harshly criticized her, leading to a wave of polarizing reactions across social media.

Social Media Reactions: Praise, Criticism, and Concern
The response to the viral photo has been overwhelming, with social media users voicing a range of opinions. Some came to Alabama’s defense, arguing that the backlash was disproportionate.
One user tweeted, “I feel like a certain demographic is spewing way too much venom over a selfie.” Others, however, accused her of being a “groupie” and implied that she was frequently seen with different men from the rap industry.
Another user commented, “Bhad Bhabie was talking facts fr. She a groupie and pass around.”
Beyond personal attacks, some raised concerns about Alabama’s safety, especially considering past incidents where her home was targeted for break-ins.
One user wrote, “Too many men roaming in & out her place of home. Idk that’s a lil too much invasive as if she didn’t have ppl already rob her b4.”
Others took a harsher stance, making crude or offensive comments about her personal life, including statements about her mother’s reputation and predictions about her future relationships.
Another viral tweet read, “She gon get pregnant by a Black man and go right back to being white. It’s the same cycle every single time.”
A History of Controversy
This is not the first time Alabama Barker has been scrutinized for her social media activity and associations. As the daughter of a rockstar, she has lived much of her life in the public eye, often facing criticism for her fashion choices, friendships, and lifestyle.
Recently, rumors swirled about an alleged connection between her and rapper Tyga, which he has since denied. Additionally, Alabama has previously defended herself against accusations of cultural appropriation and criticisms of her rap aspirations.
The Dangers of Social Media Scrutiny
Alabama’s situation highlights a larger conversation about the intense scrutiny young women, especially those in the entertainment industry, face online. From unfair double standards to invasive speculation about their personal lives, celebrities like Alabama are often subjected to relentless criticism.
While some argue that public figures should expect such attention, others believe the level of negativity directed toward her is excessive. One user put it plainly: “This is exactly how people be stealing shit from her.”
As Alabama Barker continues to navigate fame in the digital age, this incident serves as yet another reminder of the power of social media and the consequences of living under the public’s watchful eye. Whether she chooses to address the backlash or ignore it entirely remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—her every move will continue to be a topic of conversation.
