Nardo Wick, real name Horace Bernard Walls III, faces scrutiny as two members of his crew are alleged to have brutally assaulted a fan seeking a photo.
Daily Mail reports rapper Nardo Wick, real name Horace Bernard Walls III, faces scrutiny as two members of his crew allegedly brutally assaulted a fan seeking a photo on the night of Nov. 27. The victim, 20-year-old George Obregon Jr., suffered critical injuries, including a severe concussion and brain bleeding, after the attack in Tampa, Florida.
Wick, addressing the allegations on Instagram, distanced himself from the assault, claiming ignorance and offering support to the victim’s family. “I don’t stand with the situation that happened,” he stated, emphasizing his commitment to making amends.
However, footage of the incident, captured on Green Light cameras, showed Obregon approaching Nardo Wick before being sucker-punched and brutally assaulted, allegedly by members of Wick’s entourage. Despite the rapper’s attempt to intervene, the attackers continued their assault, leaving Obregon hospitalized, according to the video.
Tampa police have launched a search for the assailants, releasing images and urging the public’s assistance. Wick’s manager denied claims of the attackers being directly affiliated with the rapper.
Despite Wick’s public condemnation, criticism from fans and the victim’s family persists. Social media comments called attention to the rapper’s perceived inaction during the assault. Obregon’s family has taken to social media, demanding justice and highlighting the severity of the unprovoked attack.
You know what he didn’t do? Take those two violent cowards to jail and have them press charges. He just doesn’t want to get sued. He only cares about himself. Clowns

Your his Boss. Your responsible. Way to hire a fricken adult or actual authentic bodyguard. Do some grown up homework for once and vet people accordingly. You have a chance to leave a positive mark on your followers and touch them deeply without what just happened.…

And refuses to tell police who the thugs were. Those people should be thrown in jail for life or better given the death penalty
