"My son is my uncle!": TikToker dad learns his son is his uncle in jaw-dropping discovery
St. Louis, Missouri - After years of caring for his son, this young TikToker discovered that - on account of an affair his girlfriend had with his grandfather - it wasn't his child at all.
Samir is a semi-professional boxer and motivational speaker who works to keep kids away from gangs. Formerly a member of the Bloods, he spent eight years in federal prison and was eager to rebuild his life after his release.
After his release, Samir had his life on track, working to fight against youth involvement in organized crime and looking after his baby boy. He even had a semi-successful influencer career, with more than 60K followers on TikTok.
Sadly, Samir took to TikTok to reveal a mind-blowing revelation - the video shows the con-come-father crying and telling the audience: "Found out my son was really my uncle."

In a twist that seems too over the top even for an M. Night Shyamalan script, Samir discovered that his grandfather and girlfriend had been sleeping together.
That affair apparently led to a pregnancy, and ultimately to the little boy who Samir had been raising in full belief that he was his own. The problem, of course, is that the boy had been the result of the affair - making him Samir's uncle, not son.
Samir was, quite understandably, devastated by the news. The TikTok he filmed after discovering the truth went crazy viral as a result, though, garnering more than 11.5 million views and 1.3 million likes.
How did Samir discover his son was his uncle?
Samir made the shocking discovery when he looked into his girlfriend's phone one day. He had just wanted to watch something on YouTube, but instead he had discovered messages and sexy pictures that his grandpa and girlfriend had been sending back and forth for years.
Despite being upset, Samir made it clear that he didn't blame either party, and still wanted to continue taking care of his son/uncle. What he found the hardest was trying to understand how they could betray him like that.
Many commenters sent their sympathies and praised Samir for choosing forgiveness. One user suggested a possible term for this incredibly twisted family relation: "Suncle?"
Apparently, the grandfather wasn't just having an affair, though, because below his video, Samir added: "Can’t believe I expected more from a man that had a whole other family around the corner from my granny house."
