Rock star Travis Barker’s teenage daughter Alabama Barker has defended her rapping skills after being lambasted for her vocal stylings in mid May.
She took to social media this week to argue her point.

The model then shared images with rap stars such as Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, and A$AP Ferg.Since I could walk, I was in the music industry,’ she said.
‘I was watching my dad perform in punk bands, rock bands, in rap concerts, everything. So, for the people that say, “Oh, she doesn’t know anything about rap music.”‘
The star, who later deleted the clip, said, ‘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.’
She then noted that she knows she is privileged.
‘I’m beyond grateful for that and blessed. It’s not okay for people to make fun of or disrespect any culture at all,’ she added.So, if me being a rapper bugs you, then you can just keep moving and stop commenting.’

Fans were quick to note that the aspiring musician’s vocals and accent appeared to have changed when she began to rap.
