Alabama Barker’s throwing subtle shade at Bhad Bhabie’s makeover, dropping “imitation is the best form of flattery” on Instagram Thursday.
The drama between Travis Barker’s daughter (who popped up with her dad on Complex’s GOAT Talk in 2023) and Bhabie’s been simmering for a minute. Don’t worry if you’re not caught up – we’ll break down all the tea in a sec.


So here’s the latest – Bhabie’s just showed off a whole new vibe, rocking blonde hair and a fresh makeup look. Of course, the internet went wild with those classic “dramatic transformation” headlines. Now Barker’s jumping in with what looks like a spicy response to the makeover, which fans were already saying was meant as a dig.
“Imitation is the best form of flattery,” Barker posted on her IG Stories. “Some people are working overtime, while I’m just keeping it moving. It’s done. Thanks for all the love though.”

Here’s where it gets juicy – Bhabie hasn’t clapped back at Barker’s comments yet (which, by the way, never actually named Bhabie). But the message? Crystal clear. Let’s rewind this drama real quick:
Back in December, this whole thing popped off when Alabama shut down Bhabie’s claims about Le Vaughn (the father of Bhabie’s baby) having a thing with her. Then Bhabie started throwing around names like Soulja Boy and Tyga – all of which Alabama quickly denied. By February, they’d taken it to the studio with Alabama dropping “Cry Bhabie.”
And that blonde look that started this latest round? Looks like it was just temporary, according to Bhabie’s latest TikTok.
