Shocking Twist, Lil Durk’s 10-Year-Old Son Allegedly Shoots Stepfather in Heated Domestic Dispute

Lil Durk is trending on X after shocking security footage involving his 10-year-old son emerged online. The video captures a heated domestic dispute between the boy’s mother and stepfather, with several bystanders present. The argument takes a startling turn when the young boy allegedly fires a single shot, hitting his stepfather. The events leading up to this alarming incident are still unclear.

Joshua Pippens, the stepfather, shared the footage on Instagram, asserting his innocence. “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 mom’s lead and tried to shoot me and then actually shot me I advise y’all see it before they take it down #buildawareness,” Pippens captioned the video. Given the sensitive nature of the content, the footage is not included here.

Reports suggest the boy may have been trying to protect his mother, though this remains unconfirmed. Lil Durk has not yet commented on the disturbing video. Pippens, however, has been vocal on Instagram, posting various statements about the incident. “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.”

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 gone put y’all through for playing with me.”

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
