An appalling video shows the moment several men in rapper Nardo Wick’s entourage beat up a young fan after he asked for a photo.
George Obregon Jr, 20, was left hospitalized in critical condition – with a severe concussion and brain bleed – after he was brutally assaulted by the 21-year-old rapper’s companions, according to his family.
Report from police
Police said the fan approached Wick, real name Horace Bernard Walls III, at about 1.15am after his show on Monday at the Club Skye in Tampa, Florida.
Footage of the attack shows Obregon walk towards the rapper and his crew before he is sucker punched by one of the men, causing him to hit a brick wall.
As Obregon appears too shocked or hurt to move, another member of Wick’s entourage punches him again several times – as Wick tells the man to ‘chill.’
Obregon then falls to the ground and hits his head on the pavement as Wick is seen pulling the attacker off of him.
Disclaimer from Wick
A representative for Wick told DailyMail.com on Tuesday: ‘The narrative about body guard or security is totally untrue.’
Wick’s manager, who goes by Qown Wick, added: ‘They’re not directly affiliated with Nardo.’
We seek justice
The young man’s furious family have taken to social media to demand justice for Obregon.
‘At no point was my son aggressive at no f***in’ point did she show any sign of harm!!! My son wanted a stupid f***in’ picture with his favorite artist!!!!
‘And This is what he gets!!!!!!! I am sick to my stomach to think about how this could have turned out!!!!’ Obregon’s mother Michelle wrote on Facebook.
She added: ‘As a mother I am begging you to help get justice for George Obregon Jr. Anyone who knows my son knows he is the sweetest and gentlest kid ever. No drugs, alcohol, gang, nothing! I am dying here and my f***in’ heart is hurting so bad I am sick to my stomach. I can’t stay quiet.’
