Andre Johnson, an L.A. based rapper and Wu Tang affiliate, is reported to have attempted suicide today. Johnson, who also goes by Christ Bearer, is said to have cut off his own penis before jumping from his second story balcony last night around 1 AM.
The rapper was rushed to hospital, where he’s currently being treated, says TMZ.
According a fellow member of his rap group Northstar, who also happens to be his roommate, Johnson cut off his penis “without warning”, and had jumped within a “matter of seconds”. When his friends ran downstairs, they found Johnson “running around screaming incoherently”.
The witnesses say the rapper was not on “any hard drugs that would cause him to do such a thing.”
Johnson’s ties to the Wu-Tang Clan come through RZA, who discovered his rap duo, Northstar in 1998, and contributed production to their debut album, Bobby Digital Presents Northstar.
