More shocking details are emerging about rapper Andre Johnson's alleged suicide attempt. According to people who were with Johnson at the time, the rapper was allegedly high on PCP and used a kitchen steak knife to cut off his penis before jumping from his apartment building, E! News reports.
Reportedly sources told E! that Johnson (who used the rap name Christ Bearer) used a serrated steak knife to slice off the tip of his penis, before cutting off his testicles and the remainder of his genitalia with the knife.
By the time police arrived to the scene, the rapper was reportedly standing on the balcony. Sources said that the officers tried to coax Johnson to come down and talk to them. According to E! he said "Ok" and then jumped from the second-floor of the building.
Johnson was found lying on the sidewalk in critical condition and was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Neighbors who said they were with the rapper at the time of the incident had previously told TMZ that they were not on "any hard drugs that would cause him to do such a thing."
According to the New York Daily News, PCP, which is also known as angel dust, is said to be one of the most dangerous drugs. TMZ broke the news that Johnson, who was a member of Wu-Tang Clan affiliated group Northstar, cut off his penis and then leapt from his apartment building on Apr. 16.
The 40-year-old is said to be in stable condition at a Los Angeles hospital but doctors were not able to reattach his severed genitalia, TMZ reports.
Wu-Tang has stayed mostly silent about the incident. At first the group said Wu-Tang was in no way connected to Johnson but later retracted that statement. According to E! they reportedly released a very bizarre official statement about Johnson. You can read it here.
