Travis Barker, drummer for the band rock Blink182 has been embroiled in controversy over the past week.
Netizens slammed the musician for liking photos of his 17yearold daughter, Young Alabama, which were deemed “daring” and “spicy.”
In the pictures, the teenager wears a mini skirt and top of the same color. Additionally, the rocker’s daughter wore leather boots and an oversized leather jacket to complete the look.
In the caption, the star’s heiress wrote, “His girlfriend ran off with a diamond checker because they weren’t real.” I can’t relate to that.”

The photo was a hit with the internet, which deemed it too “sharp” for a teenager.
“She’s 17 and already dressing like a 2530 year old. I hope her dad has plans for her to go to college and not give her everything she wants,” wrote one netizen.
Another defended her: “I’m amazed at how many people talk about zucchini. She’s a beautiful young woman who does what young women do. Leave her alone.”
And where does Travis Barker fit into this story?
A third netizen noted that Travis Barker liked his daughter’s post. The criticism is that he would in some way encourage the behavior of this young woman.
It’s worth remembering that the rocker was embroiled in a similar controversy last month. The drummer made Alabama dance in one video, wearing a small leather bra and short sideslit skirt. The young woman dubbed and danced to the song “What It Is” by Doechii.
“I wonder if her father sees all this,” wrote one netizen. “That’s because she’s still a minor,” commented another.
Travis did not comment on the controversy, but did comment on some of his daughter’s posts. In one of them, the young woman wrote: “Tell me that you are proud of me.” Ö drummerHe then commented, “I’m proud of you and I love you.”
