Lil Durk Breaks Silence After 10-Year-Old Son Seen 'Shooting Stepdad' During Domestic Dispute, As Victim Makes Explosive Claims

Rapper Lil Durk has broken his silence after his 10-year-old son allegedly shot his stepfather during a domestic dispute.

Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks and who has 10 children – five girls and five boys, made a cryptic comment on X early Monday morning.

“Save that money for those kids, kids, kids, kids, kids,” he tweeted, in a possible reference to the drama his child appeared to be at the center of.

An Indiana Department of Child Services document released by Pippens suggests the agency recommended that the boy’s mother, Travonna Collier, no longer be allowed to care for the child.

In the meantime, it has been recommended that Pippens and Lil Durk, the boy’s biological father, be allowed to visit the boy without supervision.

Although he ended up in the hospital and required surgery, Pippens has since said that he still loves the boy as if he were his own.

“I still love him like he was mine,” he wrote in a message explaining how the incident happened.

“My gun was on my hip and I was trying to shield myself from the bullets,” he said.

“As you can see, I was not the aggressor,” Pippens said. “And you can also see that I still had my gun on my hip. He grabbed my gun off my hip following his mother’s lead and tried to shoot me and then shot me.”

“I never thought a kid I bought quads and paid for soccer leagues and everything would do this, but he only knows what mommy shows him, I still love him like he’s my own,” Pippens wrote in an Instagram story.

Pippens also suggested that the dispute between him and the boy’s mother may have been over custody arrangements for a child the couple share.

Joshua Pippens, the boy’s stepfather, posted about the incident on social media.

Pippens spoke out from his hospital bed, telling social media users that he was not the attacker and that the toddler was simply following his mother’s orders.

“Whatever makes you feel better. That’s why I got custody of my kids and she didn’t. Y’all on the internet think I got the vaccine and she didn’t,” he wrote.

“Listen, nobody’s going to jail, or they’d be there already. I’m doing this to have rights over my kids. Call me whatever you want. And besides, it was at my mom’s house, in front of my mom, my grandma and other kids. I pray that you get through whatever God is going to put you through for messing with me,” Pippens added.

The Indiana Department of Child Services document provides additional details about how the July 1 fight unfolded when the boy returned to Pippens’ mother’s home just before 9 p.m.

When the child arrived, Collier and Pippens were already arguing outside the house. The child then asked his mother to stop fighting.

The boy then got out of the car and pushed Pippens, the document said.

In the midst of the fight, the child, seen in red, allegedly pointed what appeared to be a gun at Pippens wearing the orange t-shirt.

The video then cuts to the argument continuing in the middle of the street as the child fires the gun.

The young man confirmed to police that Collier and Pippens both had guns “but his gun didn’t fire.”

The child told police that Pippens tried to take the gun away from Collier before explaining how his stepfather’s gun fell to the ground during the fight.

The boy admitted in the document that he took the gun and shot Pippens in order to protect Collier, his mother.

The boy later said he was afraid she would be shot.

When police asked him if there had been any domestic violence in the past, the boy told officers that the couple yelled at each other a lot.

A document from the Indiana Department of Children’s Services, also posted online by Pippens, suggests the agency recommended that the boy’s mother, Travonna Collier, pictured, no longer be allowed to care for the child.

He said his mother “went crazy very quickly.”

In the video, Pippens, dressed in orange, can be seen trying to restrain the child’s mother, who is dressed in purple.

In the midst of the fight, the child, dressed in a red T-shirt and shorts, points what appears to be a gun directly at Pippens.

The video cuts away as the fight spills off the sidewalk into the middle of the street as the couple continues to argue.

The child then points the gun at Pippens as a single gunshot rings out.

Pippens can then be seen falling to the ground after being hit by a bullet.
