He went on to say that people were backstabbing him.
Although she could have just been resharing the video because she feels for Lamar, many people think that it also applies to her.
However, her Instagram was not hacked.
Alana’s boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, was arrested years prior to dating her.

ALLEGATIONS
Earlier this month, The Sun obtained documents that revealed that Dralin was arrested on May 29, 2019, and was initially charged with statutory rape.
His 2019 mugshot was also released by police.
Alana was not the alleged victim in this case, and it appeared the incident happened before he and the Mama June Road to Redemption star started dating.
According to the police report, the mother of the alleged victim brought her daughter into the police department and claimed that Dralin, who was 18 at the time, climbed through her daughter’s window and had sex with the minor, who was 15.
In the report, the officer wrote that they interviewed the minor.
“I asked the daughter if it was consensual, and she stated ‘Yes’.”
The minor told the officer that “her plan with Carswell was for him to come to the house and while there they had consensual unprotected sex in her bedroom.”
Dralin allegedly told the police the minor “was his girlfriend and they had talked about him coming to her house… but he did not actually go to the house.”
He told police he was at his friend’s home all day and night, however, in police interviews with the friends he claimed he was with, two of them told the investigators they had dropped him off at the minor’s home and picked him back up over an hour later.
The friends allegedly told the police that when they picked Dralin up he “was scared and told them to drive fast” because the minor’s “mama had caught him inside the house.”
Dralin was initially charged with statutory rape but ultimately completed a pretrial diversion program that resulted in the dismissal of a claim for making a false statement to law enforcement.
During the pretrial diversion hearing in June 2021, the 21-year-old agreed to fulfil the terms of the program in exchange for a dismissal.
The assistant district attorney said during the hearing that Dralin “was charged with statutory rape, misdemeanor grade,” however “Based on the evidence we didn’t feel like we could prove the statutory rape but could prove making a false statement.”
The documents also stated this was the first time he had been in trouble with the law.
‘I DON’T CARE’
Amid the controversy, Alana – who has been dating Dralin for more than a year – defended her boyfriend in an interview with PEOPLE.
The 16-year-old said: “In our relationship, the two most things that everybody is always talking about is our age gap and definitely because he’s Black and I’m white and we’re an interracial couple.
“I don’t care, because, at the end of the day, my sister approves, his mom approves, and we’re happy.
“So what fans got to say or what haters got to say I don’t really care.”
The teen added that despite the age gap, she and Dralin are “always talking about something — it’s never like an awkward moment, silence or none of that”.
MISSING FROM TIKTOK
After the rape allegations came out, fans noticed that “Honey Boo Boo’s” Tiktok account had disappeared.
Alana has not addressed her decision to step away from the social media site, but fans are worried.
Prior to the account disappearing, she had been active on TikTok.
She has been equally quiet about the scandal surrounding Dralin.
FRESH START
The Sun exclusively revealed early in 2021 that Alana and Dralin – a college student – were dating.
A source confirmed Dralin attended a Nashville technical school before the pandemic hit, but now resides in Georgia near Alana and her sister Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon, 22, who has custody of her youngest sister.
Last month, Pumpkin exclusively told The Sun: “Me and my husband love Darlin. He’s very respectful and treats Alana with the utmost respect. He is around us and our kids a bunch also and we love him for Alana.”
Despite the diamond ring the 16-year-old star has been sporting on that finger, Pumpkin clarified that it is not an engagement ring, but that it is actually a promise ring from Dralin.
The new mother of twins added that Dralin gave the ring to Alana “probably last year, I’m not exactly sure the exact date.”
