Los Angeles (CNN) -- Rapper Andre Johnson severed his penis and jumped from a Los Angeles apartment building early Wednesday, police said.
Johnson was seriously injured, but survived the fall from the second level of the building in North Hollywood, Los Angeles Police Sgt. William Mann said.
Johnson, along with his recovered penis, was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was being treated, Mann said.

35. Drugs? No, I'm thinking depression or mental illness

The guy went by the name "Christ Bearer," not to mention no sign of drugs being involved so far. Witnesses have all denied that there were any hard drugs involved. http://www.examiner.com/article/andre-johnson-wu-tang-affiliated-rapper-cuts-off-penis-jumps-off-balcony I wouldn't be surprised if he had any cannabis in his system… But when ever did cannabis cause someone to behave like this?

Horrible, and one wonders what substances- for sure, that was probably a part of it- were involved.

This is just horrible. What has brought him to the point that he mutilated that part of his body?
