Bhad Bhabie just dropped “Ms. Whitman” — and left no crumbs.
On Monday, February 25, the 21-year-old rapper, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, unleashed her latest diss track aimed straight at Alabama Barker.

With lyrics like “Thought I wasn’t gonna come back for more, you dumb, dirty b****” and “She f**ked on Tyga and killin’ babies, I seen the sonogram” (a nod to rumors both Tyga and the 19-year-old influencer have denied), Bregoli didn’t hold back.
But the real mic-drop moment? A Travis Barker lookalike — aka Alabama’s dad’s doppelgänger — casually drumming in the background, and the internet definitely noticed.
“I deadass almost thought dat was really Travis Barker 😂😂😂 omg I’m dead, she did dat 💪🏽👏🏽,” one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“Bhad Bhabie used a kanye beat, got a travis barker look alike, got her red hair back, just to diss alabama. She’s taking it,” another pointed out.
“Oh she ate I fear 😭 and is the drummer in the back supposed to be Travis baker??? Teaaa. Love when the girls add a lil razzle dazzle,” chimed in a third.
“B**** WHY I JUST NOTICES TRAVIS in the video ho u ate,” someone else wrote.
“the Travis look alike 😭😭😭😭😭,” added another.
“having someone who looks like travis playing drums is nastyyyyyyyyy work. f*** i could never hate bhad bhabie i fear,” one person admitted.
“its the fake Travis drummer she keep dancing thats funny. Like damn she drug the daddy in it too 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭,” another commented.
The feud kicked off in December 2024 when Bregoli accused Alabama of trying to steal her boyfriend, Le Vaughn (the father of her 11-month-old daughter, Kali Love), in an Instagram Story. Alabama denied the accusation, initially responding with a simple “ew” on a Shade Room post. She later claimed Vaughn had been trying to contact her for nearly a year. Despite Alabama’s explanation, Bregoli stood by her boyfriend — at least at the time. Earlier this month, she confirmed their breakup in a now-deleted Instagram Story, writing, “Like dead ass y’all will never see me with that man ever again,” per TMZ.
The drama escalated when Bregoli dropped “Over Cooked” in January, a diss track where she made indirect accusations about Alabama’s dating history. In response, Alabama released “Cry Bhabie,” taking her own shots at Bregoli.
With “Ms. Whitman,” Bregoli intensified the feud, not only calling out Alabama by name but also taking aim at her family. The song’s title appears to be a reference to Alabama Whitman, the main character from the 1993 film True Romance — which happens to be the inspiration for Alabama name. Bregoli also referenced Alabama’s stepmother, Kourtney Kardashian, in the lyrics and sampled the “Carnival” beat from Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s album Vultures, later sharing a screenshot suggesting West, 47, and his wife, Bianca Censori, had approved it.
Alabama has yet to respond to “Ms. Whitman,” but after the track dropped, she posted an Instagram Story with Mariah Carey’s “Obsessed” playing and shared a selfie from a recording studio.
