Has the Babyshambles man posted a video of him smoking crack?

Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has been caught up in a new “drug” video controversy, after he posted a video of himself smoking a substance from a glass chicken-shaped bong yesterday (March 3).

The video, which you can see on Pete Doherty’s YouTube channel, has been picked up on by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, who questions whether the substance could be crack cocaine on his famous blog.

A video of Pete Doherty taking heroin emerged last November after leaving drug rehab, after which the star said he was “distraught”.

However Pete Doherty’s YouTube channel does also offer an insight to the former Libertine's life in Wiltshire, also boasting clips of him playing with his cats and jamming.

Heyy!
I have watched the video, and it isnt actually him smoking crack,it is some look a like which doesnt look much like doherty
Pete has become clean for good,the press need to lay off him a bit
let him learn from his mistakes
