Security Footage of the Disturbing Incident Goes Viral on Social Media
Lil Durk is currently at the center of a viral controversy after disturbing security footage surfaced online featuring his 10-year-old son. The footage reportedly captures a domestic dispute between the boy’s mother and his stepfather, Joshua Pippens, culminating in the child allegedly firing a single shot at Pippens.
The incident, which took place in front of several onlookers, shows the boy allegedly grabbing Pippens’ gun and firing a shot. At the time of writing, the specific circumstances leading up to the incident remain unclear. Various online reports suggest that the boy might have been attempting to defend his mother, although this is unconfirmed.
Joshua Pippens (step dad) took to Instagram to share the security footage, providing his perspective on the incident. “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,” he captioned the clip. Pippens, who has been active on Instagram since the incident, made several statements regarding the event. “Whatever makes y’all feel better,” he wrote on his Story. “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 [prayer emoji]. GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD TO ME SURVIVOR.”
