Travis Barker's children are following in his footsteps in the music industry as the two recently shared their songs on the internet. However, his daughter Alabama amassed criticism for her track, but haters won't stop her from pursuing her passion.
According to People Magazine, the 17-year-old rapper shared a video last week featuring her unreleased song. However, it was not well-received by the public as they started commenting negative remarks on the clip.
Later on, the young musician took to TikTok to address the issue, saying she's tired of people telling her she didn't know anything about rap music.
