Rapper cuts off his penis, then survives after suicide attempt (Photo)

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.

Neighbors told the website that Johnson managed to get back on his feet after taking the plunge from his balcony shortly before 1 a.m.

The baffled neighbors said no one in the apartment was doing "any hard drugs that would cause him to do such a thing."

Emergency workers found Johnson laying on the ground in a pool of blood outside the building before they rushed him to the hospital, where he remained in critical condition.
The severed penis was transported to the hospital a short time later, but could not be reattached.

Johnson is a member of the group Northstar, which was discovered by Wu-Tang member RZA in 1998. The producer backed the duo for their 2004 debut album, "RZA Presents Northstar."
