Stormzy has accused the Metropolitan Police service of breaking into his house after mistaking him for a burglar.

The Croydon-born grime artist tweeted a photo of a smashed-in doorway the morning after he attended the Elle Style Awards.

The 23-year-old wrote: "Woke up to Feds destroying my front door coz apparently I'm a burglar who burgles his own home. @metpoliceuk need your bank details still."

Fans reacted with outrage, branding the incident as "absolute madness".

One joked that whoever broke his door was "after them tour tickets #soldout".

It was recently announced that Stormzy's upcoming tour for March and April has sold out, following the news that his debut album GSAP [Gang Signs and Prayers] will be released on 24 February.

Stormzy revealed the album via a series of mysterious billboards around south London, which featured lines presumably from tracks on the record.

GSAP features a strong lineup of guest artists including Ghetts, Kehlani, MNEK, and Raleigh Ritchie.

The Independent has reached out to representatives for Stormzy for comment.
