As you can see the first object in the array dosen’t include the user data. So what should i do $query->filterFollowingsOf($user); to include my data?

Answer

I think the with callback is used for modifying the query that selects the user data. Instead, try using a whereHas method that filters the related users.

$user = $request->user();

$followersPost = UserPost
    ::with('user')
    ->whereHas('user', function ($query) use ($user) {
        $query->filterFollowingsOf($user);
    })
    ->latest()
    ->get();


return $followersPost;

I’d also recommend using paginate() instead of get() for performance when there could be a significant number of posts.

Edit:

To get either your friend’s posts or your posts, try:

$followersPost = UserPost
    ::with('user')
    ->whereHas('user', function ($query) use ($user) {
        $query->filterFollowingsOf($user);
    })
    ->orWhere('user_id', $user->id)
    ->latest()
    ->get();
