Alabama Barker is responding to rumors about her health.

The 19-year-old daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday after a report on Monday claimed she was “recently” hospitalized for nicotine withdrawal.

Alabama said she wanted to “clarify” details about the timeline of her hospitalization, which occurred after she quit vaping.

“Hello everyone, I just want to clarify that I was not in the hospital this month or last,” the aspiring rapper wrote.

“The situation occurred some time ago, and I was there for about three hours before being discharged.”

She added, “They provided me with a nicotine patch and an inhaler, and that’s all.”

Alabama concluded, “Let’s please avoid spreading any rumors and focus on moving forward. Thank you.”

TMZ reported on Monday that Alabama’s nicotine withdrawal “recently saw her rushed to an LA-area hospital.” The outlet added that the celebrity scion called 911 after she felt unwell and began to panic while alone.

As The Post reported, it was unclear when the hospitalization occurred.

In her Instagram Story posted on Tuesday, Alabama did not reveal when she quit vaping.

She supposedly quit cold turkey and was told by medical professionals that abruptly stopping smoking vape pens can lead to withdrawals even after only occasional use.

TMZ described Alabama as previously being only an occasional vape smoker, adding that she stopped smoking one month ago after she decided to more aggressively pursue a career as a rapper. People in the music industry reportedly told her that vaping could damage her voice.

Alabama released her first music video on Dec. 13. The video, for her track “Vogue,” featured cameos from her famous dad and her stepmom, Kourtney Kardashian-Barker.

In the video, Alabama and Kardashian lounge in the back of a limousine with sunglasses on before being swarmed by paparazzi. The mother and stepdaughter duo then ditch the shades and fan $100 bills. Elsewhere in the video, Alabama struts down a catwalk dressed in a skintight full-body suit.

Also, a thriving social media star, Alabama shared a TikTok video on Dec. 27 revealing that she recently had the flu.

“I have had the flu, and I’ve not been okay,” she said, adding that she “didn’t get to enjoy [my birthday] because I was so sick but I am back on my feet.”

Born on Christmas Eve, Alabama continued the video by sharing her “Christmas haul,” which has been valued at around $80,000.

“I am so grateful for all my gifts and I wanted to share because some people requested it,” she added in the TikTok.
