SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA: Landon Barker, son of musician Travis Barker and a rising Gen Z singer has been making headlines lately. On September 13, his TikTok video and the release of his single, 'Friends with your Ex' sent his fans into a frenzy.
It appeared that the lyrics of the song may be hinting at Landon Barker's girlfriend, TikTok star Charli D'Amelio, and her ex-boyfriend, Chase Hudson.
Amidst all of this, let's delve into the timeline of the drama between the TikTokers.
When did Charli and Landon Barker start Dating?
In June 2022, a source confirmed to J-14 that Charli and Landon, the fan-favorite Gen Z couple were in the early stages of their relationship. “They were enjoying getting to know each other,” the source revealed.
The two initially sparked rumors of their romance after being seen together as they left Barker's concert in June. The speculation intensified after the two TikTok stars uploaded Instagram Stories of their new tattoos which they had gotten from the same Los Angeles-based tattoo artist @ar.bel.
Then, the couple was seen holding hands in New York City as well. They're still going strong and adding a lot of PDAs on social media.
Chase Hudson and Charli D’Amelio Relationship Drama
Chase and Charli had an inconsistent relationship from January 2019 till the start of 2022. They separated in April 2020 when rumors circulated that Chase had cheated on Charli.
However, in July 2020, they found themselves embroiled in a public dispute after Chase posted a now-deleted image from his notes app (which was promptly screenshotted and shared by fans) that seemed to criticize his friends and fellow influencers for allegedly being involved in the relationships.
Reports suggested that Charli then called Little Huddy out on Twitter and said, “Stop deflecting your actions onto others because you can’t take responsibility, Chase. Want me to talk about how you treated me throughout our relationship or do you just want to continue to play the victim?”
As of June 2022, Chase and Charli had unfollowed each other on Instagram. Additionally, there was speculation that Chase had indirectly referenced Charli in a newly released song called 'All the Things I Hate About You,' which was released along with a music video in July 2022.
The lyrics were, “You’re a showstopper, a bad liar, homie hopper, drama starter."
Considering Charli's current relationship with Chase's former friend, many fans speculated that the term "homie hopper" was aimed at her. However, Charli has refrained from commenting on any of the drama since that time.
However, In a recent episode of the Barstool Sports 'BFFs' podcast,19-year-old Barker said, "It’s kind of just like a take how you want it type of thing, you know. Just take it as you want it. I’m not gonna, like, stick it and put it to a certain situation.”
Barker added, "My song isn’t necessarily a shot at him, it’s more about my side of everything. I didn’t make this song intentionally to be a d***k or whatever."
