Grime star Stormzy was woken by police raiding his Chelsea home, he has claimed.
The rapper said his front door was kicked in by police officers who thought he was a burglar.
He tweeted a picture on Tuesday (February 14) morning of the damage caused and is demanding compensation for the damage caused by “feds”.
Stormzy said: “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.”
The MOBO-winning music star, whose real name is Michael Omari, was flooded with messages of support from his fans.
One said: “Use ya popularity to make an example of em,” and another said: “I’m amazed that this is still happening smdh and saddened.”
He responded to one message describing the police as “too foul” and added to another “doubt either of us will be getting a damn thing my guy lol”.
One fan joked the officers were trying to get tickets to the musician’s sold out tour while another wrote: “Absolutely disgusting you’d think they know who lives there before damaging your door.”
The Met Police has been contacted for comment. However the force did reply online, saying: “Hi, if you wish to make a complaint please DM us so we can take some more details. Thanks.”
Stormzy announced on Monday (February 13) that his 17-date UK tour had sold out in just four days.
