"I thought I woke up in a movie."
Stormzy has spoken out about his recent police break-in incident.
The 'Big For You Boots' rapper accused the Metropolitan Police of destroying his front door on the belief that he was a burglar last week.
Stormzy, real name Michael Omari, claimed that the front door of his Chelsea home was smashed down in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
In an interview on Channel 4's 'The Last Leg', the Grime MC opened up about the bizarre event.
"I was just sleeping and then ‘Bang, bang, bang!’… you know how it goes."
"I thought I woke up in a movie. They were banging on the doors, [there were] dogs... "Police! Police!""

Stormz explained how he wasn't in his usual attire prior to the incident.
"D'you know what the craziest thing is? Usually, I'm always in tracksuits, but that specific day I was in a suit. A Burberry suit."
"So I was like "Today I'm not having it.""

Upon being asked whether he thought there was a racial undertone to the alleged attack, Stormzy said he "wasn't too sure".
"Every time I pull up outside my house, I jump out my car and I’m looking at everyone like "Which one of you d*ckheads…""
The Met Police later stated that they were responding to "a report of a conspiracy to burgle", before eventually finding "two lawful occupants" inside the Chelsea property.
