“As y’all can see I was not the aggressor,” he wrote in the caption alongside the video, “and y’all also can see how I still had my gun on my hip he grabbed my gun off my hip following his moms lead and tried to shoot me and then actually shot me I advise y’all see it before they take it down #buildawareness.”
In a later post, Pippens shared a photo of an official document detailing a visit by the boy — identified as Jerome Harris Jr., and reported to be Lil Durk’s son by multiple online outlets — was questioned by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Office “as part of the assessment investigation.”

Durk’s comment about deleting “Unhappy Father’s Day” refers to his 2022 song from his 7220 album, expressing he no longer feels that way about the annual day.
“Unhappy Father’s Fay” finds Lil Durk opening up about not spending enough time with his children.
“Father’s Day come around, I swear to you it feel the worstest/ ‘Cause when I ain’t talk to em in a couple days that shit feel like a burden/ I be on stage like it’s all good knowin’ deep down it’s hurtin’,” he raps on the song.
He continues: “And they be askin’ me for my time, they ain’t tryna see no purses/ And I sent them off so many times, they startin’ to tell me to merch it/ And I don’t feel likе a father on Father’s Day, that shit the worstеst.”
