"Feds" mistake Stormzy for a burglar, kick down his front door in the middle of the night

Stormzy's had a pretty massive couple of weeks since he announce debut LP Gang Signs & Prayer, but last night seems like it was a bit of a downer.

The "Big For Your Boots" MC was rudely awakened by "Feds destroying my front door" who for some reason thought he was a burglar "who burgles his own home". Sounds like he'll be billing them for the damage.

The Metropolitan Police have so far refused to comment on the snafu.

The London star, real name Michael Omari, recently detailed his long-awaited first record, revealing guests Kehlani, MNEK, Raleigh Ritchie, J Hus, Wretch 21, and Ghetts. The album features production from Fraser T. Smith (Kano, Adele, Sam Smith).

"This is the moment that I have been waiting for my whole life," says Stormzy of Gang Signs & Prayer. "I am now ready to certify my position as a credible artist and someone who is here for the long run."

Stormzy's debut LP has been in the works for a while (we can't wait). Last year he told i-D that we "will hear Stormzy the son, the boyfriend, the brother, the bredrin, all of it. I will give you a moment in time in music."

Gang Signs & Prayer is out 24 February via #MERKY Records. You can pre-order now.
