Alabama Barker, the daughter of Travis Barker, has clarified recent reports about her hospitalization through a now-deleted Instagram post. “Hello everyone, I just want to clarify that I was not in the hospital this month or last,” Alabama wrote to her followers, addressing speculation surrounding her health.
She explained that the incident in question occurred some time ago and lasted only three hours before she was discharged. The 17-year-old rapper, known for her single Vogue, reportedly sought medical attention after feeling “panicked and unwell” while alone.
According to the Daily Mail, a 911 call led to Alabama being transported to a Los Angeles hospital, where she received a nicotine patch and an inhaler as part of her treatment. In her message, Alabama urged fans to avoid spreading rumors and instead focus on moving forward. She concluded with a simple “Thank you.”
The clarification comes amid Alabama’s recent social media posts showcasing her Christmas and birthday gifts, which included high-end luxury items such as a $7,950 Balenciaga rhinestone bag and a $14,000 Hermès Birkin bag.
Alabama is the daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and his ex-wife Shanna Moakler. Despite the recent health scare, her posts suggest she is in good spirits and focusing on enjoying the holiday season.
The young star’s message emphasizes the importance of accurate information and respecting privacy, particularly when it comes to health matters. While the hospitalization reports generated buzz, Alabama’s swift response aimed to set the record straight and reassure her fans.
