A Delaware federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a defamation suit by a rapper formerly affiliated with the hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, who claimed media outlets had falsely reported that he attempted a grisly act of self-mutilation and attempted suicide.

Marques Andre Johnson, known by the stage name Andre Roxx, had sued a contingent of media companies in March 2016, nearly two years after outlets incorrectly reported that he severed his penis and jumped out of a window while attending a party in California.
