Members of a Florida rapper’s entourage brutally attacked a young fan who had approached the musician for a photo Monday night, leaving the man with a concussion and a brain hemorrhage.
George Obregón, 20, is in critical but stable condition following the vicious beating outside Club Skye in Tampa, where rapper Nardo Wick had performed earlier that night, according to WFLA.
Obregón approached Wick, whose real name is Horace Walls III, and his entourage after the concert in hopes of meeting his “favorite artist.”
Obregón, who had VIP tickets for the concert, was surprised and left unconscious by a member of Wick’s entourage, according to disturbing images on social media.
While Obregón was frozen and leaning against a wall, a second man delivered at least three more blows as the helpless fan fell and his head bounced off the ground.
“I want everyone to see what these sons of bitches did to my son,” George’s mother, Michelle Obregón, said Monday. “At no point was my son aggressive, at no damn time did he show any signs of harm! My son wanted a stupid photo with his favorite artist! And this is what he gets! My stomach hurts thinking about how this could have turned out!

“Anyone who knows my son knows he is the sweetest, gentlest child who ever lived. No drugs, alcohol, gangs, nothing! I’m dying here and my damn heart hurts so much my stomach hurts. “I can’t stay silent.”
Tampa police asked for help identifying the two suspects.
“It’s not like we’re running away or anything,” Obregon’s friend and witness Connor Villa told TMZ. “George was walking towards Nardo with his phone up, then the guys around him didn’t hit him at first. They just looked at him. He says, ‘Hey, can I take a picture?’ Then, out of nowhere, the guy hit him from the side.”

The outlet also obtained photos of a text message exchange between Michelle Obregón and Wick’s mother, who is also his manager, in which the former provided updates on George Obregón’s condition.
Wick has since reached out to the Obregóns, the rapper said in a statement Tuesday.
“I in no way condone what happened to my fan George after my show,” Wick 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, 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.”
Wick’s representatives told WFLA that the two suspects “are not his security nor individuals directly related to Nardo.”
