Stormzy is among those nominated for British Breakthrough Artist at this year’s Brit awards.
"Police were called to an address in West Brompton at 00:55hrs on Tuesday 14th February to a report of a conspiracy to burgle a ground floor flat, believed to have been vacant," a police rep said in a statement.
The Grime star shared a picture of his broken door on Twitter and quickly went viral as fans rushed to support him.
Stormzy's fans were outraged by what happened, with one telling him: "Use ya popularity to make an example of em."
Another said: "I'm amazed that this is still happening smdh and saddened."
But some joked it was Stormzy's sold out 17-date UK tour that made the officers pay his home a visit, with one tweeting: "All they had to do for a pair of tickets was ask."
After friends and fans offered support on social media he said he didn't expect to see any money back from the police.
He tweeted: "Bro trust me I ain't holding my breath lol proper d***heads."
