Bishop Nehru: I Tried Heroin In “Heroin Addiction” Music Video

25-year-old Bishop Nehru shocked many of his fans with his new visuals. His “Heroin Addiction” music video dropped on May 17, and its content caused a stir on the internet.

“I tried Heroin in the new video 😔,” tweeted Bishop Nehru on Tuesday. That Twitter post captioned a 45-second clip from the “Heroin Addiction” video. The rapper portrayed shooting up the opioid in the visual snippet.

Some Twitter users replied to Nehru by questioning his decision to promote drug usage. Other people expressed concern about the Rockland County, New York native’s mental health. In contrast, some commenters showed appreciation to Bishop for addressing the topic of addiction.
