The drama on social media heated up on February 19 when Bhad Bhabie debuted a bold, new look in an NSFW video on Instagram, leaving many fans speculating that she was mimicking Alabama Barker.

In the clip, which features her rapping over what appears to be her upcoming single, “Ms. Whitman,” Bhad Bhabie flaunts heavy makeup, a long blonde wig with bangs, and unmistakable styling that sparked comments online.

Fans were quick to note the similarities, with Instagram users like @sc2w_taroi and @allydanielle_ suggesting that Bhad Bhabie’s new aesthetic was a playful mockery of Alabama Barker. One user even commented, “she’s for sure making fun of bama with how she’s dressed lmaooooo.”

The buzz reached Alabama Barker, who responded on her Instagram Story on February 20 with a cool, measured message:

“Imitation is the best form of flattery, some people are working overtime while I’m just keeping it moving. It’s done. Thanks for all the love though.”

Barker’s post seems to acknowledge the mimicry with a hint of humor, while simultaneously putting an end to the speculation. The exchange highlights how celebrity styles can quickly become a topic of discussion and friendly rivalry on social media.
