More details have emerged in the gruesome and tragic case of Wu-Tang Clan affiliated rapper Christ Bearer aka Andre Johnson, with reports now surfacing that, contrary to previous witness statements, Johnson was high on PCP when he severed his own penis and jumped from a building.
While at the time, members of Johnson’s group told TMZ that “any hard drugs that would cause him to do such a thing” had not been consumed, a source close to the situation has reportedly told E! News that Johnson was high on the dissociative hallucinogen, commonly known as angel dust.
In a series of recent statements, Wu-Tang leader RZA, who discovered Johnson and his group Northstar, said he believed the reports of an absence of “hard drugs” and that there was more to the story, saying, “This sounds more than high. It sound like mental problems or something that was bothering this man’s mind, and he needed help. It’s sad. I send my respect out to his family.”
Among the various gruesome details reported by E! News‘ source were that Johnson allegedly cut off the tip of his penis first, then removed his testicles and the remainder of his genitalia with a serrated steak knife. Later attempts to reattach it at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center were unsuccessful.
The 40-year-old rapper, who is still being treated at Cedars-Sinai, was reportedly on a balcony when police arrived. When asked by officers to come down and speak with them, Johnson reportedly said “okay” and jumped from the balcony. Police later found the remains of his penis upstairs.
