Beyoncé's unreleased music was stolen. Now Atlanta PD has an arrest warrant in hand
Queen Bey just wrapped up her shows in the ATL, but a bad tone was set for the four-night stand on July 8 when a Jeep Wagoneer rented by Beyoncé's choreographer Christopher Grant was broken into. The vehicle was on the main level of a parking structure near the city's Krog Street Market.
Grant and dancer Diandre Blue had stopped at a restaurant shortly after 8 p.m. to get something to eat. When they returned a little more than an hour later, they saw that the back window of the SUV had been smashed and their suitcases had been stolen, according to an Atlanta Police Department report.
The two suitcases held two computers and five jump drives containing unreleased music by Beyoncé as well as footage, plans for the tour production and past and future set lists, the report said. Clothing, Apple AirPods Max headphones and designer sunglasses were also taken, the report said.
'They have my computer, and it's really, really important information in there,' Grant said in a 911 call released by Atlanta police, keeping his employer's name out of it. 'I work with someone who is, like, of a high status, and I really need my computer.' He told police that the 'Find My' feature was tracking his Mac devices.
An officer was able to lift 'two very light' fingerprints from the black Wagoneer, and police responded to the area where the devices were pinging. A suspicious vehicle being driven by a man was identified.
Police said Monday in a release that they had secured an arrest warrant for a male suspect. 'At this time, the suspect remains outstanding, and their identity is not yet available for release,' they said.
Bey's tour stop wrapped with a small catastrophe as well: An escalator at the city's Vine City MARTA station reportedly sped up, then stopped, causing a small stampede after someone screamed. Medics took people out of the station on stretchers and in wheelchairs, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
'the escalator BROKE. someone screamed, people started running and at some point (maybe because the escalator broke and it was WAY too many people) people got injured,' user @carlyraesasuke wrote Tuesday morning on X. 'saw some poor lady on one of the benches with her leg bleeding and a handful of others on the floor. madness.'
Next, Beyoncé heads to Las Vegas for the final shows of the Cowboy Carter Tour on July 25-26.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner released emotional podcast with 'Cosby Show' costar before his death
A month before his death, "The Cosby Show" star Malcolm-Jamal Warner released an emotional podcast episode with costar Keshia Knight Pulliam in which they discussed the groundbreaking show and their spiritual practices. Warner, who reportedly died July 20 from drowning while vacationing with his family in Costa Rica, spoke with his "Not All Hood" podcast co-host, Candace O. Kelley, and Knight Pulliam for their Season 2 premiere on June 19. When asked about the end of "The Cosby Show," both Warner and Knight Pulliam's eyes welled up. "We were all ready to just kind of move on. So I was cool with finishing the last episode and everyone saying bye. I was so cool, had no emotions," Warner said. "And then I saw Keshia started crying, and then I started crying." "He's stuck with me for life," Knight Pulliam said. For eight years, Warner played Theodore "Theo" Huxtable, the son of Cliff and Clair Huxtable – played by Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad – on the hit NBC sitcom. Knight Pulliam played his youngest sister, Rudy Huxtable. What we know: Malcolm-Jamal Warner dies in drowning at 54: Reports Malcolm-Jamal Warner opens up about his daughter As Warner and Knight Pulliam reflected on their journeys as child stars and the importance of filtering out negative energies, staying grounded and grateful, Warner said, "Gratitude begets gratitude." Their daughters are around three months apart, Warner said, and "They love each other." "It's so surreal to me that we have this kind of relationship as parents, and we see our next generation have this bond at such a young age," he added. The most recent episode of the podcast, featuring guest Tameka "Georgia Me" Harper, was released July 18.

In 2022, he appeared on New York City Public Radio's "All of It with Allison Stewart" to talk about his album. When asked about his first memory of poetry, Warner said he has been around poetry "his entire life," and that his father attended Lincoln University because poet and activist Langston Hughes had done the same. 'What an actor and friend you were': Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jamie Foxx, more honor Malcolm-Jamal Warner "I was steeped in poetry in the womb," Warner said, laughing. In 2015, Warner was part of a team that won a Grammy for best traditional R&B performance, awarded for their cover of Stevie Wonder's "Jesus Children Of America."

Beyonce's ‘Cowboy Carter' tour ends soon. Get tickets to final shows in Vegas
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. 'Cowboy Carter' has reached its final destination. After a whirlwind international tour — which included 1) visually and sonically spectacular concerts, 2) guest spots from Jay-Z, Blue Ivy Carter, Rumi and Miley Cyrus, 3) wild technical difficulties and 4) unreleased music stolen from an SUV belonging to a member of her team — Beyoncé will cap the 'Cowboy Carter Tour' with a pair of shows in Sin City. The last two gigs will go down at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium on Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26. If you'd like to be there, last-minute tickets are surprisingly inexpensive. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for these concerts was $121 including fees on Vivid Seats. Not bad considering this is the last the hive will see of the Queen for the foreseeable future. And, while we can't confirm whether or not Bey will bring out any big names to accompany her onstage (although her husband Hova joined her in Atlanta this past weekend), it's almost a certainty she'll perform over 30 songs based on what she's taken to the stage at past gigs on the run. According to Set List FM, she regularly delivers 'Cowboy Carter' tracks with hits like 'Crazy in Love,' 'Single Ladies,' 'Irreplaceable' and 'If I Were a Boy' sprinkled in for good measure. Yet, Knowles' powerhouse vocals aren't the only reason to drop serious coin to see her live. On top of the fan favorites she belts, the 'Cowboy Carter Tour' also features a stunning stage show with a mechanical bull, awe-inspiring choreography, her square-dancing daughters and, of course, the flying red car. 'It's a 2-hour-45-minute mashup of hardcore dance music and country/Americana leanings, in which neither primary genre has to say: 'Don't fence me in,'' Variety raved in a review of the first show of the tour back in April. 'And it's deliriously great, blurry, boundary-busting fun.' Still need a few more details before smashing the Bey buy button?

The expansive 27-track country/R&B/pop/rock/soul/Hip-Hop/everything in between record features guest spots from Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Shaboozey and more. In addition to charting at No. 1 in 24 countries, the album was met with universal acclaim. As a cherry on top, 'Cowboy Carter' won Album of the Year, Best Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her 'II Most Wanted' with Miley Cyrus at the 2025 Grammys. Highlights from the genre-hopping effort include the free-flowing, epic '16 CARRIAGES,' twangy bop 'TEXAS HOLD 'EM' and stirring, cinematic, operatic 'DAUGHTER.' Make sure to give the good-time, party-startin' 'Son Of A Preacher Man'-sampling 'YA YA' a try, too. It's perfect for a stroll down the street, workout or pick-me-up. For our money, it's essentially a free mood booster. If you'd like to hear the one-of-a-kind album — that's the second in a trilogy celebrating different genres after the electrifying, EDM-ified 'Renaissance' — you can listen to 'Cowboy Carter' in full here. Beyoncé news The last few weeks of the 'Cowboy Carter Tour' have generated quite a few headlines. According to The Post, 'Beyoncé's unreleased music, tour plans and other 'personal sensitive information' were reportedly stolen out of a SUV linked to two members of her team' in Atlanta two days before she began her short residency at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. More recently, a 'stampede' broke out at one of the Atlanta gigs after a ten-year-old fan screamed after spotting an insect while leaving the venue The Post reported. Unbelievably, 11 hive members ended up in the hospital because of a bug. 'As panicked concertgoers began running down the escalator, it briefly sped up before coming to a screeching halt — causing people to fall on top of each other,' they wrote.
