Lil Durk’s Son Allegedly Shoots Stepdad in Shocking Tragedy
The 10-year-old son of American rapper Lil Durk allegedly shot his stepfather, Joshua Pippens, during a domestic altercation involving the child’s mother.
Surveillance footage captured the moment when the child reportedly grabbed a firearm from Pippens and fired it. In the video, Pippens is seen trying to restrain the child’s mother during the confrontation, while the child aims the gun towards Pippens.
Joshua Pippens addressed the incident on his Instagram, asserting that he was not the instigator of the altercation.
He explained that the child took the gun from his hip, following cues from his mother, and fired at him.
Pippens emphasized that he was attempting to defend himself with the gun still holstered when the incident occurred.
Despite the shocking event, Pippens expressed continued love for the child, whom he has supported with activities like buying four-wheelers and sponsoring football leagues.
Pippens hinted that the dispute might have centered around custody arrangements involving a child shared between him and his partner. He also responded to public speculation, affirming that he has custody of his children, contrasting with his partner.
As of now, Lil Durk, the child’s father and a well-known rapper, has not publicly commented on the incident.
