Lil Durk's 10-year-old son allegedly shoots stepfather during domestic dispute

"Y'all can see I was not the aggressor," says the stepfather, recovering from a gunshot wound.

In a shocking incident, the 10-year-old son of rapper Lil Durk allegedly shot his stepfather, Joshua Pippens, during a heated domestic dispute involving the child's mother. 

The event was captured on surveillance cameras, showing the child allegedly grabbing the weapon from Pippens and aiming it at him before firing.

The video footage reveals Pippens, dressed in orange, trying to restrain the child's mother, who was wearing purple. 

The altercation spilled from the sidewalk into the street, escalating further. 

The child then pointed the gun at Pippens, and a single gunshot rang out, causing Pippens to fall to the ground.

The shooting took place on July 1, and Pippens has since spoken out from his hospital bed, stating that he was not the aggressor and that the child was acting under his mother's orders. 

"As y'all can see I was not the aggressor," Pippens stated online. 

"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."

Pippens further explained, "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 4 wheelers and paid for football leagues and everything would do this but he only knows what mom shows him. I still love him like he's mine."

The stepfather suggested the argument might have been about custody arrangements over a child the couple share. 

"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," he wrote.

He continued, "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 momma's, in front of my momma, granny, and more kids. I pray y'all make it through y'all situation that God gon' put y'all through for playing with me."

Meanwhile, Lil Durk, who has ten children—five girls and five boys—has not yet commented on the incident.
