Members of the Florida rapper’s entourage brutally attacked a young fan who approached the musician for a photo Monday night, leaving the man with a concussion and brain hemorrhage.
George Obregon, 20, is in critical but stable condition following the brutal beating outside Club Skye in Tampa, where rapper Nardo Wick performed earlier in the night, according to WFLA.
Obregon walked up to Wick, whose real name is Horace Walls III, and his entourage after the concert hoping to meet “his favorite artist.”
Obregon, who had VIP tickets to the concert, was blindsided and knocked unconscious by a member of Wick’s entourage, who showed disturbing social media footage.
As Obregon froze and leaned against the wall, a second man delivered at least three more punches as the helpless fan fell and his head bounced off the ground.
“I want everyone to see what these mothers did to my son,” George’s mother, Michelle Obregon, said Monday. “Whenever my son is not aggressive, he shows no signs of danger! My son wants a stupid f-in’ picture with his favorite artist! And this is what he got! I’m sick of thinking how this could happen!

“Anyone who knows my son knows he is the sweetest and gentlest child. No drugs, alcohol, gangs, nothing! I’m dying here and my heart hurts so much that I’m sick to my (my) stomach. I can’t keep quiet.”
Tampa police are asking for help identifying the two suspects.
“It’s not like we ran or anything,” Obregon’s friend and witness Connor Villa told TMZ. “George just walked towards Nardo with his phone, then the guys around him, they didn’t hit him at first. They just looked at him. He was like, ‘Hey, can I get a picture?’ Then out of nowhere, the man hit him from the side.”

The outlet also obtained photos of a text exchange between Michelle Obregon and Wick’s mother, who is also his manager, in which the former provided an update on George Obregon’s condition.
Wick has since reached out to the Obregons, the rapper said in a statement Tuesday.
“I don’t condone what happened to my fan George after my show in any way,” Wick said. “I expressed to him and his mum how sorry I was and worried that it had happened to him, several times before anything was broadcast or on the internet.”

The rapper, known for his 2021 hit “Who Want Smoke?,” condemned his entourage’s attack and said he “cannot control the actions of another grown man.”
“I texted his mom my number right away the night it happened,” Wick added. “I even went to make a note to try and find out who he was before his mama sent me a message. I couldn’t control the actions of another grown man, I didn’t know it was over, and I was angry when it happened.
“I tried to stop it as you can see in the video, and if someone gets a longer video, you can see how angry I am, I love and appreciate all my fans and do not condone what happened at all. not gangsta or cool at all.”
A representative for Wick told WFLA that the two suspects “are not his security nor are individuals directly related to Nardo.”
