AceShowbiz - A domestic dispute involving Joshua Pippens, the husband of Lil Durk's baby mama, the rapper's 10-year-old son, and the boy's mother has resulted in the child allegedly firing a single shot and hitting Pippens.
On July 7, security footage surfaced online showing Pippens and the boy's mother engaged in a dispute. In the footage, the boy appears to grab a gun from Pippens' hip and shoot him. The circumstances leading up to the incident remain unclear.
Pippens posted the footage on Instagram, claiming he was not the aggressor and that the boy shot him intentionally. Pippens has stated that he is seeking custody of his children and that the incident occurred in the presence of his mother, grandmother, and other children.
From the hospital bed, he also shared documents that detailed police quizzing the boy about the incident. "This is all the proof y'all should need right here I don't gotta lie about nothing there goes the truth for y'all right may god bless y'all," he wrote in the caption.
Social media reactions to the incident have been mixed. Some express sympathy for the child while others joke about potential lyrics that Lil Durk may write about the altercation in future songs.
Lil Durk has yet to publicly address the incident. Pippens, however, has been active on Instagram, sharing various statements and indicating that he intends to take legal action for custody of his children.
