The driver is revealed to be R&B artist Kehlani, who can be seen smiling as Walker says “Ma’am, you don’t need to tell baristas I’m an asshole because I have an opinion.” Walker also posted a story where he talks about listening to Kehlani the day before this incident, saying, “Sistah girl didn’t know who she was dealing with,” and, “Don’t let the Givenchy and smile fool you, I will get out of the car.” The video of the incident was also uploaded to Walker's Twitter^[3], where it gathered over 8,000 likes in three months (seen below).

This mediocre singer that everyone’s forgotten about, Kehlani, told my baristas at Starbucks that I was an “a**hole” and to be “safe around me.” Well, I set her straight.I’m tired of these fake woke people being rude to everyone and acting like they’re the good ones. pic.twitter.com/V6X88Wg8tX

I’ve stayed silent for nearly two years as my whole life has been lied about publicly. I did ONE campaign event, then said I didn’t want involvement. Don’t you dare test my authenticity. Here is the full story: pic.twitter.com/ekVEcz8zq3
