John Chapple for New York Daily News Andre Johnson, who performs under the stage name Christ Bearer with the Wu-Tang affiliated group Northstar, chopped off his own penis in April. 
 
 The Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated rapper who cut off his own penis in a drug-fueled delirium last April is rebutting reports that surgeons re-attached his private part. 
 
 "Doctors didn't reattach it, but I definitely have some penis left," Northstar rapper Christ Bearer, whose real name is Andre Johnson, told the Daily News Monday. 
 
 "I always say a penis is a penis. And the sensation is still there. I definitely still get extremely aroused if I see a beautiful woman," he continued. "That being said, I definitely believe sex is for mortals, and I am god. So this is a blessing, not a curse." 
 
 Johnson, 41, said he wasn't trying to commit suicide when he cut himself and jumped off the second-story balcony of his condo in North Hollywood on April 16. 
 
 John Chapple for New York Daily News Johnson says wasn't trying to commit suicide when he cut himself and jumped off the second-story balcony of his condo in North Hollywood on April 16. 
 
 "By no means was I trying to kill myself. I was under the influence of PCP. It's a drug that I had stopped doing for years, but I just got back from Ohio and got back into that lifestyle for a few days. It definitely was not wise," he told The News. 
 
 Johnson said he had been studying some literature about monks and vasectomies and was extremely high when he took the knife to his genitals and jumped. 
 
 "I was lucky I was only on the second floor. If I was any higher, it would have been a tragedy. The height didn't make any difference to me. I wasn't aware of the height," he said. "I was so happy to wake up in the hospital."

 ndillon@nydailynews.com ||||| Rapper Andre Johnson made headlines this past April when he cut off his own penis and jumped off the second story of a North Hollywood building. 
 
 He survived, and on Sunday, he spoke to E! News exclusively about why he cut off his penis, noting that this is the first time he's spoken truthfully about the incident. 
 
 "Yes, I was using drugs that night, but I was in complete control," said the rapper, who also goes by the name of Christ Bearer. "I cut it off because that was the root of all my problems. My solution to the problem was the realization that sex is for mortals, and I am a god...Those kinds of activities got me into trouble, and I came here to be a god." ||||| Marques Johnson says the only thing he had in common with the guy who did cut off his penis was an affiliation with the Wu-Tang Clan and that they were both African-American male musicians. 
 
 It's the case of the wrongfully identified penis and one that showcases TMZ's girth. 
 
 Marques Johnson, a hip-hop artist known as Andre Roxx, who once was associated with the Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated outfit Killa Beez, has brought a defamation lawsuit against TMZ over an April 2014 article. 
 
 The story in question reported that a "rapper affiliated with Wu-Tang Clan was rushed to the hospital early Wednesday after he cut off his penis and then jumped off a second story balcony." 
 
 Johnson says he was first tagged by TMZ as the rapper who did that, before a rewritten story reflected that it was another guy — Christ Bearer. 
 
 "TMZ's original, inaccurate story immediately spread across the Internet and to television and radio news," states a complaint filed Wednesday in Delaware federal court. 
 
 Johnson says the story was quickly picked up by BET.com (which reported the rapper who cut off his penis as "Andre Johnson, who spits under the name Christ Bearer and Andre Roxx"), USA Today (which reported "Johnson, also known as Andre Roxx and Christ Bearer"), the television show Extra, Radio One, the New York Daily News, Urban Daily and Barstool Sports. 
 
 The parent companies of each — including Warner Bros., Viacom and Gannett — now find themselves TMZ's co-defendants in this case. 
 
 It gets worse. 
 
 According to the complaint, "Even after TMZ posted a corrected story, and after other media outlets had made some effort to correct their stories, Defendants continued to report the same false information — that Plaintiff had cut off his penis and jumped off a balcony, and to this day no Defendant other than TMZ has even corrected the story." 
 
 And so the radio station 100.3 The Beat published a story, "O my! Wu Tang Affiliated Rapper Andre Roxx Jumps Off Balcony in Suicide Attempt." For that, iHeartMedia also is being sued. 
 
 The false news spread internationally when London-based Daily Mail took it up, continues the complaint, which adds: "Other than their affiliation with the Killa Beez and the Wu Tang Clan, and the fact that they are both African American male musicians, there are and were key differences between Plaintiff and Christ Bearer. Their names, though containing the overlapping (and common) names 'Andre' and 'Johnson,' are not the same. Christ Bearer's given name is Andre Johnson; Plaintiff's is Marques Johnson. The two did not bear a physical resemblance at the time of the incident: Christ Bearer is at least ten years older than Plaintiff, and Plaintiff's appearance is distinct due to his green eye color, which is unusual in African American men." 
 
 When the story came out, the plaintiff says he was in prison and forced to go into protective custody because other inmates began harassing him. Johnson says he got out in June 2015, but hasn't been able to rebuild his musical career because disc jockeys and promoters told him it was too "risky" to book him due to the publicity. 
 
 Even the Wu-Tang Clan allegedly distanced itself from him by "immediately denounc[ing] any affiliation with him, posting on their blog that 'This m********* ain't got s*** to do with the WUTANG brand." 
 
 Plaintiff's picture is said to have been posted.
– Andre Johnson, the Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated rapper who severed his own penis in April before jumping off a building, has explained his actions ... sort of. "I cut it off because that was the root of all my problems," the 41-year-old rapper, who also uses the name Christ Bearer, tells E!. "My solution to the problem was the realization that sex is for mortals, and I am a god. ... Those kinds of activities got me into trouble, and I came here to be a god." He also spoke to the New York Daily News, noting that he had been reading about monks and vasectomies at the time. Oh, and probably coincidentally, he admits he was on drugs, too. "But I was in complete control," he insists, and "I didn't want to kill myself." He also notes, contrary to some media reports, that doctors couldn't re-attach the member. "But, it still gets hard, the little bit that I got. I still got some penis that works," he says. "I definitely still get extremely aroused if I see a beautiful woman." But, despite his previous remarks, he adds, "I wasn't having that much sex up to that point anyways. My days of reproducing are over. But now I'm a reborn man." As for why he jumped, "That was just my response to the demons. They were doing their best to get to me, but being alive solidified my thoughts," he says. "I'm alive, penis or no penis." He's speaking out for the first time since the incident because "the truth must be told," he says. What's next for him? "I love comedy," he says. "I'm going to do stand up along with making music."
