The father of a young man who was brutally beaten by members of Nardo Wick’s entourage earlier this week criticized the Florida rapper for refusing to cooperate and provide authorities with the names of his attackers.
George Obregon Jr., 20, was left in critical but stable condition after members of Wick’s group attacked him when he approached the group after a concert in Tampa on Monday hoping to take a photo with his “favorite artist.” ”.
After Obregón approached Wick, whose real name is Horace Walls III, a member of the rapper’s entourage knocked him unconscious before a second member of the group slammed him to the ground, disturbing footage on social media showed.
“Wick hasn’t spoken to us. What he should do is collaborate with the police because those men were with him, they left the scene together,” the father of the injured fan, George Obregón Sr., told the Daily Mail on Wednesday.

“We do not know the name of the suspect because the rapper has not identified them. [Wick] He’s not talking. She doesn’t want to cooperate,” she added.
While his son, who had VIP tickets to Monday night’s concert, has shown signs of improvement, Obregón Sr. was unable to share more details about his condition because his family is now taking legal action against Wick.
The chaotic beating has left the entire family in ruins, according to the distraught father, who noted that he has not even been able to watch the full video of the now-viral attack.
“I can’t even finish watching the video, I want to watch it frame by frame to see what happened but my body just can’t… it’s such abuse, I just can’t comprehend it.”

Obregón Sr. described his son as “a real guy” with many friends who loved listening to Wick’s music to such an extent that he even had photos of his “favorite artist” taped in his room.
“He loved this rapper; He has the pictures of him in his room, imagine how we feel! The photo is still in his room and I just want to tear it off,” he added.
The young fan’s friend and witness to the beating, Connor Villa, told TMZ he had been walking toward Wick with his phone up and asking for a photo when a member of Wick’s group punched him in the side.
Wick has since reached out to the Obregóns, the 21-year-old rapper said in a statement Tuesday.

“I do not in any way condone what happened to my fan George after my show,” he said.
“I expressed to him and his mother how sorry and concerned I was about what happened to him, several times before anything was published or on the Internet.”
The rapper, known for his 2021 hit “Who Want Smoke?”, condemned the attack by his entourage and said he “cannot control the actions of another grown man.”
“I sent his mom my number instantly the night it happened,” Wick added. “I even went to make a post to try to find out who she was before her mom texted me. I can’t control the actions of another grown man (sic), I don’t know what happened and I was angry when it happened.
“I tried to stop him as you can see in the video, and if anyone watched the longer video, you can see how angry I was. I love and appreciate all my fans and I don’t condone what happened at all. That shit. It’s not gangsta or cool by no means.”

Tampa police asked for help identifying the two suspects.
Wick’s representatives said the two suspects “are not his security nor individuals directly related to Nardo.”
