Their public displays of affection follow the beginnings of an apparent feud between the couple and Hudson, a former friend of Barker’s who makes music under the moniker Huddy (formerly Lil Huddy).
Fans on TikTok seemed to think Hudson, 19, was commenting on the pair’s relationship as heteased a new songcalled “All The Things I Hate About You,” which included a line about an ex being a “homie hopper.” He and D’Amelio confirmed their romance in December 2019, andsplit in April 2020.
“Stab me in the back like nothing / Never even saw this coming,” Hudson sings on the track. “I watched you making it public, lights camera, f— it / You’re a showstopper / A bad liar, homie hopper, drama starter.”

Barker then lent fuel to the fire with an Instagram Story of his own that alluded to the drama, writing, “If you can’t treat her right I’ll treat her right for you 7/23.”
