A HARROWING video has captured the moment two men brutally knocked out a fan who was seemingly asking for a photo of rapper Nardo Wick after a show, leaving the man unconscious on the street.
The 20-year-old fan, who attended Wick’s show on Sunday night at Club Skye in Tampa, Florida, approached the rapper as he was getting in his vehicle when he was viciously slugged.

However, apparently without warning, a man standing near Wick sucker punches the young fan, who was identified by his mother as George Obregon Jr, from the side, a video obtained by TMZ shows.
Obregon Jr was left in a frozen state as another man let off another blow to the fan’s face, who then fell back and banged his head against a concrete pavement.
The clip ends as Wick, wearing a white T-shirt, is seen approaching the men, telling them to “chill” as he seemingly tried to stop the assault.
TMZ reported the attackers were members of Wick’s team.
Obregon Jr was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for a severe concussion, according to the outlet.
The fan’s distraught mother, Michelle Obregon, blasted the rapper and called for justice in a Facebook post.
“I want everyone to see what these mother f**kers did to my son,” seethed the mother.
“At no point was my son aggressive at no f**king point did he show any sign of harm!!! My son wanted a stupid f**kin 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 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, gangs, nothing! I am dying here and my f**kin heart is hurting so bad I am sick to my stomach. I can’t stay quiet.”
The Who Want Smoke rapper broke his silence on the incident, saying he apologized to the fan and his mother.
“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,” Wick wrote in a statement on Instagram.
“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 can’t control another grown man actions, I ain’t know that was gone happen, and I was made 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 made I was, I love and appreciate all my fans and don’t condone in what happened at all dat s**t ain’t gangsta or cool in no type of way.”
Tampa police are reportedly seeking the public’s help in identifying the aggressors.
