Lil Durk’s family is making headlines after alarming security footage emerged, showing his 10-year-old son allegedly shooting his stepfather during a domestic altercation.
The incident, which has sent shockwaves through social media, was captured on security cameras and has quickly gone viral on platforms like X.
The footage shows a heated dispute between the boy’s mother and stepfather, Joshua Pippens, while several individuals look on. Amid the chaos, the young boy is seen firing a single shot, hitting Pippens.
The circumstances leading up to the shooting remain unclear, and many questions are still unanswered.
Joshua Pippens took to Instagram to share the shocking footage and his side of the story. In his post, he claimed he was not the aggressor and that the boy took his gun in an attempt to protect his mother.
Pippens wrote, “As y’all can see I was not the aggressor and y’all also can see how I still had my gun on my hip he grabbed my gun off my hip following his moms lead and tried to shoot me and then actually shot me I advise y’all see it before they take it down #buildawareness.”
Online speculation suggests the boy was defending his mother, though these reports are unverified. Lil Durk has yet to comment on the troubling incident.
Pippens, however, has been vocal on Instagram, making various statements about the situation. He emphasized that no one is going to jail and that his actions are motivated by his desire to gain custody of his children.
In one of his posts, Pippens wrote, “Whatever makes y’all feel better. That’s why I got custody of my kids and she don’t. Y’all so internet think god it was me that took the shot and not her that’s still my daughters mom but she knows like ik. GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD TO ME SURVIVOR.”
He further added, “Listen nobody is going to jail or they would already be there I’m doing this for rights over my kids call me what y’all want and on top of that this was at my mommas in front of my momma granny and more kids I pray y’all make it through y’all situation that god gone put y’all through for playing with me.”
