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.

He’s got no case. Everybody knows they all look alike.
I’m lost. Apparently someone named Johnson is missing his Johnson. Beyond that I don’t care if it was Andre or Marques.
Oh, and one or both of them is about to hit the jackpot courtesy of TMZ
This is really funny
Not a rapper but…..

So the three people who read TMZ are going to be disappointed when TMZ is no longer at the check out stand? Dang.
The 7th grader is 17 or 18 it was reported.
Well, now that he’s lost his wang-doodle..his new rapper name will be crime-stopper.
