Lil Durk’s Son Allegedly Shoots Stepdad in Shocking Domestic Dispute, Details Emerge
Lil Durk‘s 10-year-old son is at the center of a domestic dispute that ended with the child allegedly shooting his stepfather. The incident, captured on camera, shows the boy grabbing a weapon from his stepfather, Joshua Pippens, and firing it during a heated altercation involving the child’s mother.
The footage, which has been widely circulated, depicts the tense scene where the child, dressed in a red t-shirt and shorts, allegedly takes the gun from Pippens, who is seen in orange, and fires it. As the confrontation spills into the street, a single gunshot rings out, and Pippens collapses.
From his hospital bed, Pippens has spoken out, defending his actions and providing context to the incident. He claims he was not the aggressor, suggesting that the child was influenced by his mother. “As y’all can see, I was not the aggressor,” Pippens stated on social media, explaining that the boy acted under his mother’s direction.
Pippens further hinted that the altercation may have been fueled by a custody dispute over another child the couple shares. “That’s why I got custody of my kids and she don’t,” he asserted, defending his position and emphasizing his intentions to protect his parental rights.
While rapper Lil Durk, father of seven, has not directly commented on the incident, he posted a cryptic message on social media on July 8th that could hint at upcoming music. “Save that money for them kids kids kids kids kids,” he wrote, possibly alluding to his next album.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
