A rapper in LA from a group founded by Wu Tang Clan, cut off his own penis and then jumped from a second story balcony, trying to commit suicide. TMZ has the story.
He's still alive.
Although, it's very possible he will die of embarrassment when he finds out the news has gone nationwide. The penis thing is a sure headline grabber--you don't even need to be in a semi-famous rap group to have that part of the story reported. The second floor balcony is just the icing on top. There isn't a newscast in America that will be able to resist reporting this news.
