In a shocking incident, American rapper Lil Durk’s 10-year-old son allegedly shot his stepdad, Joshua Pippens, during a domestic dispute with the child’s mother. This alarming event, captured on surveillance cameras, has sparked widespread discussion.
According to the footage, the child allegedly grabbed a weapon from his stepdad, aimed, and fired. The video shows Pippens, dressed in orange, trying to restrain the child’s mother, who is seen in purple. Amid the confrontation, the 10-year-old, wearing a red t-shirt and shorts, appears to point a gun directly at Pippens and fires a single shot. Pippens then collapses to the ground after being hit.
The shooting took place on July 1, and since then, Pippens has spoken out from his hospital bed. Using his Instagram page, he claimed he was not the aggressor and that the child acted under his mother’s influence.

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 mom’s lead and tried to shoot me and then actually shot me. My gun was on my hip and I was trying to protect myself from getting shot. I never in a million years thought a kid I bought four wheelers and paid football leagues and everything would do this but he only knows what mom shows him. I still love him like he’s mine.”
He further suggested that the argument might have been about custody arrangements over a child they share. Pippens added, “Whatever makes y’all feel better. That’s why I got custody of my kids and she don’t. Y’all so internet think [sic] god it was me that took the shot and not her.”
As of now, Lil Durk has not publicly commented on the incident.
