Two individuals associated with rapper Nardo Wick, identified as Zachary Benton, 34, and Edward Hamlett, 15, voluntarily surrendered to the Tampa Police Department after their alleged involvement in a severe assault on a fan. The incident occurred when 20-year-old fan George Obregon approached Wick to take a photo, leading to a brutal attack that left him critically injured with a brain bleed and concussion.
Benton and Hamlett, who reportedly do not share a close bond with Wick, whose real name is Horace Bernard Walls III, face felony battery charges. Additionally, Hamlett is charged with illegal possession of a firearm as a minor. This altercation highlights the potential dangers surrounding celebrity interactions, prompting concerns over fan safety and artist accountability.
Wick, distancing himself from the assault, took to Instagram to express his unawareness of the impending violence and his efforts to calm the situation. He also reached out to Obregon’s family, offering assistance and support.
The incident has sparked widespread discussion about the responsibilities of artists and their entourages in public settings, emphasizing the need for increased security measures and awareness to prevent such unfortunate events in the future.
