She also shared a photo of when she met Rihanna on the set of her music video for one of her hit songs, “Umbrella.”
Shanna Moakler, Alabama Barker’s mother even took up defense of her child after serious backlash of her pursuing a rap career. In August 2023, Moakler told Page Six, “I think her rap career is amazing. My kids were raised on a tour bus from the time they were born. Every creed, every race is going to love hip-hop and rap that’s not gonna change. So for me, it is a very natural progression for [Alabama], because she’s been in the studio with her father with the greatest musicians in the world.”
