Trap Lore Ross is back with an interesting look at “The Wu Tang Rapper Who Chopped His Manhood Off.”
The clip takes us back to 2014 when Christ Bearer of the Wu-Tang Clan affiliate group Northstar cut off his own penis and jumped off a balcony in an attempt to commit suicide.
As TMZ reported in April of 2014: “Police found Andre Johnson, a Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated rapper who performs under the name Christ Bearer, on a North Hollywood sidewalk critically injured. Under the influence of angel dust, a depressed Johnson cut off his own penis and jumped off the balcony in what was believed to be a suicide attempt. It was later confirmed that despite his miraculously stable condition, doctors were unable to reattach his penis.”
In 2015, Johnson spoke with VICE for World Mental Health Day to talk about what life had been like since.
“My life had descended into a fog of depression after being prevented from seeing my daughters by their mother, and I was feeling as if nothing was going right. Then, just as I thought my situation couldn’t get any worse, it did in a dramatic way. I had been smoking weed and PCP one day, trying to blot out the misery of life with drugs, when I lost all contact with reality and took the somewhat insane step of cutting my own penis off and jumping from a balcony. Dark, destructive thoughts had been running through my head under the influence of the dust, and I just thought, ‘Fuck it. Maybe I’m better off without this thing so I can’t have any more kids, seeing as things are going so badly with the ones that I’ve already brought into this world.'”
