Should I remove a long and drooping branch off my Zanzibar Gem?

I have propped it up with one of the other stronger branches for the moment but wondering whether to just cut it off at the base? or do you think it will grow strong? This happened over night :(

This stem is not likely to support itself without a prop or stake. You can place a fine stake (bamboo skewer or cane)to the side of the stem or if this look doesn't appeal to you, remove the stem altogether.
