Wu-Tang Clan rapper Christ Bearer aka Andre Johnson has revealed the reason behind cutting off his penis and then jumping from the second-storey apartment last month.

According to TMZ.com, the 40-year-old artist said that he attempted the suicide because he was depressed over not being able to see his daughters due to the restraining order, News.com.au reported.

He explained that he was feeling very alone on the night of the occurrence and was smoking marijuana while reading a book about vasectomies which led to the incident.

Johnson was found severely injured by the sidewalk last April and was rushed to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where plastic surgeons were able to reattach his fully functional penis but he can no longer have kids anymore.
