Nardo Wick’s Crew Turn Themselves In To Police For Beating Fan Up

A Nardo Wick fan, George Obregon Jr., recently got way more than he bargained for when he walked up to the rapper for a picture outside of a venue. Moreover, two members of his entourage beat the young fan up, and it was all captured in a pretty nasty video that made the social media rounds online. It’s very unclear what prompted these men to carry out this attack. Unfortunately, according to TMZ, there are also very little updates when it comes to Obregon’s current condition. We know that medical officials took him to the hospital after the incident, and that the 20-year-old had a severe concussion and brain bleed.

Furthermore, after police issued a wanted notice for the two suspects, they reportedly turned themselves in, according to TMZ. Apparently, law enforcement sources confirmed that 34-year-old Zachary L. Benton and a 15-year-old male arrived at the Tampa Police Department on Friday night (December 1). Both face charges of felony battery, whereas the 15-year-old faces additionally charges with minor possession of a gun while he wore a mask. Not only that, but this outlet also reports that sources close to Nardo Wick told them that these individuals don’t have a strong relationship with the rapper, but that they’re just friends of friends.

In addition, the two apparently reached out to the Jacksonville MC’s team earlier this week to discuss “logistics of surrender.” All in all, this definitely threw a wrench in his career, albeit one that might see a swift resolution. After all, these two males turned themselves in, so perhaps they just want to get something over with. Nevertheless, Nardo Wick has a Sexyy Red collab coming soon, one that this incident overshadowed swiftly in the headlines. Meanwhile, he actually addressed the whole situation via an Instagram statement. “I don’t condone what happened to my fan George after my show in any type of way,” the 21-year-old wrote. “I expressed to him and his momma how sorry and concerned I am that it happened to him multiple times before anything [hit] the internet.

He continued: “I sent his mama my number instantly that night, I was even gone make a post to find out who he is before his mama text me. I can’t control another grown man actions, I aint know that was gone happen and I was mad when it happened, I tried to stop it as you can see in the video. If somebody got the longer video you can see how mad I was. I love and appreciate all my fans and don’t condone in what happened at all dat s**t aint gangsta or cool in no type of way.” For more on Nardo Wick, stay posted on HNHH.

Nardo Wick Issues Apology After Fan Attack: ‘I Don’t Condone What Happened’

2023-11-28-nardowick

Nardo Wick has issued a public apology after being under scrutiny for an incident involving his security guards becoming violent with a fan. As the investigation unfolds, the Chicago rapper’s career and the employment of his two bodyguards hang in the balance.

Shocking Interaction Caught On Video 

Nardo Wick, the rapper known for his controversial lyrics and persona, has taken to social media to apologize for the extreme violence that was recently inflicted on a fan by his security team. 

On November 28, 2023, a video circulated online showed George Obregon Jr. approaching Nardo Wick and his security guards, intending to take a picture with his favorite rapper. Instead, Obregon Jr. was unexpectedly struck by one of the guards, causing him to fall and hit his head on the pavement.

He was subsequently rushed to the hospital with internal bleeding and a concussion. The footage clearly shows that Obregon Jr. posed no threat and that Wick himself intervened to prevent his security guard from delivering another blow.

Obregon’s Mother Responds

The victim’s mother, Michelle Obregon, took to Facebook to express her outrage, stating: 

“ I want everyone to see what these mother fuckers did to my son!!!!! At no point was my son aggressive at no fuckin point did she show any sign of harm!!! My son wanted a stupid fuckin 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!!! Please help me share this please A 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 fuckin heart is hurting so bad I am sick to my stomach. I can’t stay quiet “

Nardo Apologizes: ‘I Don’t Condone What Happened To My Fan’

Wick later addressed the incident on Instagram, expressing his remorse and concern for Obregon Jr. 

The Hot Boy artist claimed that he contacted the victim’s mother immediately after the incident, offering support and promising to make it up to him. Wick wrote: 

“I don’t condone what happened to my fan George after my show in any type of way, I expressed to him and his mama how sorry and concerned I was that it happened to him, multiple times before anything was even posted or on the internet. I sent his mama my number instantly the night it happened. I was even gone make a post to try to find out who he was before his mama text me. I cant control another grown man actions, I ain’t know that was gone happen, and I was mad when it happened. I tried to stop it as u can see in the video, and if somebody got the longer video you can see how mad I was, I love and appreciate all my fans and don’t condone in what happened at all dat shit ain’t gangsta or cool in no type of way.”

Additionally, he made an apology video reiterating his Instagram apology in which the “Who Want Smoke” rapper said:

 “ I don’t condone the situation that happened. I don’t stand for that situation that happened. I was fully unaware of that situation that was about to take place. As soon as it happened I tried to de-escalate the situation. After the situation I got in contact with the mama. I sent her my number, I called and asked her how he was doing. I told her I’ll do anything to make it up to him as a fan. I told her to keep me updated on his health. And it ain’t about trying to stop something from happening. It ain’t none of that. I genuinely care about the fan. That’s all I care about. I dont give a damn about what everybody talking about, “sue, sue, sue.” I don’t care about that nigga. If they gotta do what they gotta do, they’ll do what they do. Right now Im worried about the fan. Make sure he straight. And I want him to know that. I aint condoning, I ain’t want that to happen. That ain’t how I treat my fans. I love my fans. I don’t rock like that at all. That wasn’t gangster. That wasn’t cool. I ain’t know that was gonna happen. I didn’t expect that to happen. I love all my fans. I welcome all of my fans with open arms. After the situation happened, I was mad as hell. I got in contact with his mama the same night. I checked on him and I told her “anything he need, I got him. Before anything was posted, before any pictures was seen, before any blog posted, before she posted anything, I reached out to him. I checked on him. I told her I got him. Whatever he need me to do to make it up to him…” 

Fans took to Twitter(X) to express how they felt about the situation with one user (@tweezy2trill) stating, “Can’t blame Nardo and I’m sure they going to take there charges… good luck with suing which I’m sure she wants to do.” While another user (@golfinglounge) stated, “I feel and pray for him and his mom. I pray Nardo starts surrounding himself with real security and fake thugs. I pray he finds Jesus. He needs it after this.”

Nardo’s Past Controversy

Despite the Chicago rapper’s public apologies and efforts to rectify the situation, the potential legal consequences and impact on his career remain uncertain.

If a lawsuit is filed against him, it could have significant repercussions for the rapper, as well as the employment of the two bodyguards involved in the assault. This incident isn’t the first time Nardo Wick has faced public scrutiny.

In 2022, he garnered attention after a viral clip from his interview with DJ Akademiks revealed details about his upbringing in a tough environment and the struggles to escape a criminal mindset. This context provides a deeper understanding of the rapper’s persona and the challenges he has faced throughout his career.

Hip-Hop Artists & Bodyguard Fiasco

This incident involving Nardo Wick’s security guards brings to mind other cases where bodyguards have found themselves in legal trouble. In a similar vein, Trey Songz’s bodyguard faced legal issues in Dubai after a hotel confrontation in March 2023. In November 2023, Offset, a fellow rapper, found himself in legal trouble when a security guard filed a lawsuit alleging assault and battery. The ongoing legal battle involves Offset and another rapper, YRN Murk, who are accused of assault, battery, and negligence.

DSC08981NardoWick

Nardo Wick is reaching out to the mother of a fan after members of his entourage knocked him out as he asked for a picture.

The 20-year-old fan, identified by his mother as George Obregon Jr., approached Wick outside Club Skye in Tampa when the rapper left. According to TMZ, the fan was attempting to get a picture when he was met with a strong punch that knocked his head into a concrete wall. The fan appears stunned and knocked out on his feet when another entourage member delivers multiple punches, knocking the fan to the ground.

In the video, Nardo Wick is seen attempting to stop the assault, but it was too late. The fan was transported to a local hospital and treated for a severe concussion and hemorrhaging.

The mother, Michelle Obregon, wrote a Facebook message stating, “at no point was my son aggressive at no fuckin point did he show any sign of harm!!! My son wanted a stupid fuckin picture with his favorite artist!!!”

In a video released online, Nardo Wick apologized to the fan and stated he had contacted the mother. “I just want him to know that I ain’t condone that,” Wick said. “I ain’t want that to happen.”

‘Rap Sh!t’: Here’s The Music You Heard In Season 2, Episode 2

'Rap Shit' 202 Aida Osman as Shawna
MAX

(WARNING: Spoilers for this week’s Rap Sh!t episode will be found below.)

The events in the second episode of Max’s Rap Sh!t season two, titled “Heavy Traffic,” are soundtracked by songs that help to accentuate the emotions behind each scene. You can find a list of them below and details about the scenes the records were heard in.

Hood Brat, A.Chic, TT The Artist, Raedio — “Call Me Daddy”

We hear this record during the opening scene of “Heavy Traffic” as Shawna, Mia, Reina Reign, Duke, and Francois film a TikTok on their tour bus. The group shows off the bus and their new tour lifestyle to their followers with the video.

Smino — “Settle Down” Feat. Cory Henry & Ravyn Lenae

Smino’s Luv 4 Rent record plays around the 3:03 mark as Shawna & Mia get ready for their first performance. The duo is dressed in aprons as they believe that they’ll be matching Reina Reign, but Duke informs them that Reina will not be on theme with them which frustrates both Shawna and Mia.

Nardo Wick — “G Nikes” Feat. Polo G

Nardo Wick’s track with Polo G is heard around the 4:42 mark as we check in with Lamont and his daughter Melissa. Due to an early release from her school, and the unavailability of Lamont’s grandmother and Mia’s mom, Lamont is forced to bring Melissa to the studio with him as he works with an artist.

Reina Reign — “Tongue (Remix)” Feat. Shawna & Mia

Around the 6:38 mark, this track plays as Shawna & Mia take the stage with Reina Reign to perform their remix of “Tongue.” Though the performance went well, it’s clear that Shawna & Mia aren’t on the same page during this performance. Shawna, frustrated by how she and Mia looked on stage, confronts Mia about their performance, but it doesn’t go too well.

Raedio & Lord AK — “Suicide Mission”

We hear this song around the 13:08 mark as Lord AK goes on stage to begin his performance. Shawna, impressed, is in the crowd watching the performance before she’s pulled away by Duke and Mia to go to Lord AK’s green room.

Future — “Like Me” Feat. 42 Dugg & Lil Baby

Future’s I Never Liked You song plays around the 17:13 mark as Duke finally gets into Lord AK’s green room where the party is live and active. Duke meets one of Lord AK’s closest associates, Gat, and offers him some party favors to enhance his party experience.

Ron Suno — “Door”

This track plays around the 18:42 mark as Duke finds Shawna & Mia in the party. She’s clearly under the influence after taking a bit of cocaine with Gat. Duke launches into an energetic rant about making money and finding opportunities that leaves Shawna and Mia very confused.

Dear Silas — “Smoke” Feat. Sauce Father

Around the 19:45 mark, the track can be heard as Mia joins the fun of the party to play a game of flip cup with a gentleman we later find out to be Courtney Lou, the artist that Lamont told Mia to look out for. Meanwhile, Shawna stumbles into a few awkward moments at the party including one where she’s told that she gives “Rapsody vibes… if she was a hoe.”

Peachcurls — “Ass Shaker”

Peachcurls’ track can be heard around the 22:19 mark as the party in Lord AK’s room is still going strong. Shawna tries to talk to Gat but he pays her no mind. He instead kicks off a game where the winner will get to go on Lord AK’s tour bus. This game does nothing but show Gat’s colorism, and when Shawna calls him out for it and flexes her rap knowledge, he rudely sprays her with champagne.

Baby Rose — “Fight Club” Feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow

Baby Rose’s Through And Through highlight plays around the 28:27 mark to close the episode as Shawna cleans herself after she is showered with champagne by Gat. She’s also frustrated by the disconnect between her and Mia, something that only gets worse when Mia lets the crew know that she’ll fly into the next city because she got an offer to spend some time with Cash.

New episodes of ‘Rap Sh!t’ are available on Max on Thursday at 3am EST/ 12 pm PST.

‘The Chi’: Here’s The Music You Heard In Season 6, Episode 5

(WARNING: Spoilers for this week’s The Chi episode will be found below.)

A bit of a time jump in The Chi season six has brought us to prom season for the kids in the series. In episode five, we check in with Kevin & Maisha, Jake & Jemma, Papa & Kenya, and Bakari & Lynae as they prepare for their prom. Though it should be a fun time, each couple has their own worries and inconveniences that arrive to disrupt things. Elsewhere, Keisha is forced to take matters into her own hands as she grows more and more frustrated with her life. Some new tensions arise between Emmett and Douda, Victor gets taken in for questioning by the FBI, Shaad is reluctantly pushed back into his old ways, and Marcus and Tierra have their first big disappointment.

The events mentioned above in the fifth episode of Showtime’s The Chi season six, titled “One Of Them Nights,” are soundtracked by songs that help to accentuate the emotions behind each scene. You can find a list of them below and details about the scenes the records played behind.

The following records were provided thanks to the Showtime Entertainment Public Relations team. Some records are unreleased and will not be on streaming until a later date. Check back for updates on a release.

J Sound — “Hold On To The Cape”

We hear this record around the 1:14 mark as Emmett helps Kevin show for a jacket to wear at prom. There seems to be a time jump with this episode as Kevin reveals that he and Maisha are an official couple now. It’s here that Kevin also lets Emmett know about a video game opportunity that will allow him to take his talents to Los Angeles.

Alex Isley — “Love Again”

This song plays around the 3:07 mark as Papa surprises Kenya with a promposal at Smokey’s. The room is filled with balloons as he presents her with roses and a sign that says “Anita Prom Date,” a cheesy reference to their mutual love of Anita Baker. Kenya, who is smiling from ear to ear, happily says yes to Papa’s promposal.

Jade McKenziie — “Gooddays”

Around the 12:15 mark, this song can be heard as Maisha is helping Lynae with her nails ahead of prom. Lynae shares that she’s worried about how Bakari and her brother Jamal’s meeting will go as Jamal is worried about Lynae being with someone who is in the streets. Maisha gives her advice and tells her to remind Jamal that most people are in the streets because they need to be, not because they want to be.

Iman Jordan — “All Over Again”

This record plays around the 34:02 mark as Kevin, Maisha, Jake, Jemma, Papa, Bakari, and Lynae all step out to show off their prom look and take pictures with family. Bakari also has his first meeting with Jamal where he promises to make sure that Lynae stays out of harm’s way.

Nardo Wick — “Who Want Smoke” Feat. Lil Durk, G Herbo And 21 Savage

Nardo Wick’s hit record can be heard around the 38:55 mark as the gang kicks off prom by turning up and having the time of their lives on the dancefloor. Kevin also informs Jake and Papa that he’s considering a move to Los Angeles for a video game opportunity.

Destin Conrad — “In The Air”

We hear this record around the 46:53 mark, as Quincy and his partner have an intimate moment together following a gathering at Victor and Fatima’s house. Quincy warns his partner about working with Douda, but he brushes it off citing no concerns in their relationship up to that moment.

Crown — “Drill 3”

This song plays around the 48:05 mark as Bakari and Lynae are driving throughout Chicago after prom. Bakari is speeding through the city and he’s eventually pulled over by the police which leads to a tense moment with officers.

Josiah Bell — “Danger”

Josiah Bell’s “Danger” plays around the 49:06 mark as Lynae walks out of the police station where she’s hugged by Nina and Dre. Jamal is also there to make sure she’s okay, and shortly after, we see Bakari from the police station where he’s greeted by Papa, Papa’s dad, and a look of disappointment from Jamal.

Travon Potts — “Hold My Hand”

Around the 50:54 mark, this record can be heard as Bakari sits in the car with Papa as Papa’s dad drives them home. The song, and the aftermath of being taken into the police station, seem to overwhelm Bakari as he begins crying in the backseat of the car.

Z. Rich — “Reminiscing”

This record plays around the 55:08 mark as Maisha lays with Kevin on his couch at his apartment. Kevin asks her if she’d move to LA for her music career, and without hesitation, Maisha says yes. This conversation seems to push Kevin to accept the video game offer that will bring him to LA, despite failing to inform Maisha of the opportunity.

New episodes of ‘The Chi’ are available through the Paramount Plus With Showtime plan on Fridays at 3am EST/ 12 pm PST. Weekly episodes also air Sundays on Showtime at 9pm EST/PST.

Gucci Mane, Roddy Ricch, And Nardo Wick Get ‘Pissy’ About Their Possesions On A Brand New Collab

Gucci Mane is back with his brand new song, “Pissy,” and it features none other than Roddy Ricch and Nardo Wick to help deliver the attitude. The track is also produced by Avo No Sleep, Koncept-P, and Will No Sleep.

“Grandma raised me, I’m from the Westside where it get sticky, and my four wheels come with road kits / I got Elliott like I’m Missy, stack my bread up, cut the corners off, it ain’t no way you could diss me, b*tch / I got the yellow gold / I got the yellow stones and my wrist and ring / It look pissy,” Gucci raps alongside Roddy for the second chorus.

Throughout the track, the three rappers continue to showcase their extravagant possessions, women, and other vices. “Hey, put on them Daisy Dukes / Show me what that new Mercedes do / Real trap house, all the pots and pans come with residue,” Roddy adds in his verse.

Meanwhile, Nardo joins Gucci later in the track, as the two add, “They say we litty, uh, I say, ‘We ain’t lit enough’ / They say we did it, uh, I say, ‘We ain’t did enough.’”

Gucci Mane’s last project was his compilation record last year, so fans have been waiting for a possible new album — with this adding to the anticipation.

Check out Gucci Mane’s “Pissy” with Roddy Ricch and Nardo Wick above.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Gucci Mane Taps Roddy Ricch & Nardo Wick For Single “Pissy”

A few days ago, Gucci Mane announced that he would be releasing a new single. From the teaser, it seemed to be hinting at the return of his old style. The single, titled “Pissy,” features Roddy Richh and Nardo Wick, and a teaser visual for the song was recently posted on Gucci Mane’s Instagram account. The clip included a sample from one of his hit songs, “Lemonade.” It also showed a transition from the original 2009 yellow-themed video to a more modern version featuring Roddy Ricch and Nardo Wick. Fans were excited about the possibility of the sample and left comments expressing their enthusiasm using lemon emojis.

The “Pissy” teaser wasn’t the first time that Gucci Mane has hinted at a return to form. He gave a glimpse of this in March with a teaser for his latest single “06 Gucci” featuring 21 Savage and DaBaby. In it, he recreated an old look by wearing an Atlanta Braves Jersey. The 17-year gap between the old and new looks was refreshing and showed the rapper’s growth. Interestingly, the “Pissy” release follows the same promotional strategy as the previous one.

Is “Pissy” Gucci Mane’s Return To Form?

The unexpected collaboration between Gucci Mane, Roddy Ricch, and Nardo Wick is a welcome surprise in the hip-hop scene of 2023. Gucci’s latest track, “Pissy,” showcases his tough demeanor as he raps about his luxurious lifestyle, cruising in a yellow car with a beautiful woman and adorned with yellow diamonds. “Big yellow Cuban on and it’s pissy / Walk big blue stones, like I’m Nipsey,” Gucci raps. “I pop champagne, ’til I’m tipsy / Still be spendin’ Ms in my sixties.”

As some listeners have pointed out, Roddy Ricch carries the song. It may technically be Gucci Mane’s song, but Roddy really delivers the goods. In fact, listening to it without knowing what it is, one could be forgiven for thinking Gucci is the feature. Regardless, it’s a banger. The trio also released a music video along with the track. It features the three rappers showing off their lavish lifestyles, with thick Cuban chains and huge pendants. What do you think of Gucci Mane’s new single? Let us know in the comments!

Quotable Lyrics:

Takin’ all facts, Grandma raised me
I’m from the Westside, where it get sticky
And my four wheels come with road kiss
I got Elliott, like I’m Missy
