Nearly 24 hours after Wu-Tang Clan affiliate Andre "Christ Bearer" Johnson nearly lost his life, new reports claim doctors are unable to reattach his penis following a suicide attempt.
According to reports, Johnson’s lower body part is now gone for good.
The Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated rapper who cut off his penis before leaping off the second-floor balcony of his North Hollywood apartment has lost the appendage for good, according to a report. Andre Johnson — who raps under the name Christ Bearer — was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after he apparently flayed himself during the bizarre suicide bid early Wednesday, TMZ reported. But doctors were unable to reattach the severed penis, the website reported. (NY Daily News)

The rapper’s group members provided additional information on the suicide attempt.
The rapper who cut his penis off and jumped off his balcony is Christ Bearer — aka Andre Johnson — a member of the rap group Northstar. Members of the group who also live in the apartment building tell TMZ … they were there early this morning when Christ Bearer suddenly — without warning — cut his penis off and jumped off the balcony. They say they were not on “any hard drugs that would cause him to do such a thing.” They add it all happened in a matter of seconds. But by the time they raced downstairs, Christ Bearer was already up and running around screaming incoherently. (TMZ)
