Lil Durk : “10-Year-Old Son Accused In Shooting”

There has been a disturbing incident involving Lil Durk’s family, as reports surface that his 10-year-old son allegedly shot his stepfather in a domestic altercation caught on tape. The stepfather, Joshua Pippens, took to Instagram on July 1 to share a video of the incident, claiming he was not the aggressor in the situation.

Pippens posted the video with the caption, “As y’all can see I was not the aggressor… he grabbed my gun off my hip following his mom’s lead and tried to shoot me and then actually shot me.” He urged people to watch the video before it was potentially taken down to “build awareness” of the situation.

Following the incident, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Office conducted an assessment investigation where the boy, identified as Jerome Harris Jr. and believed to be Lil Durk’s son, was questioned. According to official documents, the boy witnessed an argument between his mother (referred to as Ms. Collier) and Pippens outside the man’s home. The altercation escalated, leading to the child pushing his stepfather and eventually shooting him with a gun dropped during the argument.

As of now, Lil Durk has not made any public statements regarding the incident.

Just last month, Lil Durk shared a glimpse into his family life, expressing happiness about spending Father’s Day with all 10 of his children. This contrasts with his previous song “Unhappy Father’s Day” from his 7220 album, where he lamented not spending enough time with his kids.

In the song, Lil Durk opens up about the guilt he feels for neglecting his children, rapping, “Father’s Day come around, I swear to you it feel the worstest… I don’t feel like a father on Father’s Day, that shit the worstest.” He expresses regret and a desire to be a better father to his children.

This incident has undoubtedly shaken Lil Durk’s family, and the repercussions are yet to be fully realized. It serves as a stark reminder of the complexities and challenges that can arise within family dynamics.

Conclusion

As details continue to emerge, the situation surrounding Lil Durk’s family remains fluid. It is a sobering reminder of the importance of addressing and resolving conflicts in a healthy and constructive manner to prevent such tragic incidents from occurring.
