911 Call From Choreographer In Beyoncé-Related Car Break-In Released
'Someone broke into my car,' Grant anxiously explained to the 911 dispatcher. 'I was parked in a garage while I went to a restaurant. But they stole, like my computers and everything, but it has the tracker on it.' He continued, 'They have my computers, and it's really, really important information in there…I work with someone who's like of a high status, and I really need the, um, my computer and everything.'
In the call, Grant also informed the dispatcher that he had been tracking the stolen items using the Find My function installed on Apple products, and had been watching the devices move on the app.
According to WSB-TV 2 Atlanta, law enforcement has identified a vehicle involved in the break-in as a 2025 Hyundai Elantra. The owner of the car informed the news outlet that the sedan was rented out through a private service.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Atlanta police have secured an arrest warrant for a male believed to be involved in the crime. A statement on Monday (July 14) detailed, 'At this time, the suspect remains outstanding, and their identity is not yet available for release.'
Grant and dancer Diandre Blue informed investigators that when thieves forced their way into their SUV rental, they stole two suitcases, jump drives containing unreleased Beyoncé music, footage plans for Queen Bey's live show, past and future set lists, and more. The theft happened last week ahead of the Houston native's Atlanta takeover for the COWBOY CARTER tour.
'Mr. Grant advised he was also carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé,' elaborated the incident report.
'He advised he was her choreographer and Mr. Diandre Blue was a dancer for her and that her hard drives for her upcoming show in Atlanta were stolen also. The hard drives contained water marked music, some un-released music, footage plans for the show and past and future set lists,' the officer added in the police report.

Actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner Mourned by Colleagues and Fans
Celebrities, former costars, and fans are expressing heartbreak over the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who played son Theodore 'Theo' Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show,' after the actor drowned in Costa Rica at the age of 54. Warner rose to fame as a teenager while on 'The Cosby Show,' a role which earned him a 1986 Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor. More recently, he appeared on a number of tv shows, including 'Grown-ish,' '9-1-1,' and 'Alert: Missing Persons Unit,' while also dipping his toes into other fields. Starting in 2024, Warner co-hosted a podcast called 'Not All Hood,' which spoke about the experiences of Black people in the U.S, alongside Candace Kelley and Weusi Baraka. He earlier won a Grammy in 2015 for Best Traditional R&B Performance along with Robert Glasper Experiment and Lalah Hathaway for their cover of Stevie Wonder's 'Jesus Children.' He received a 2012 NAACP Image Award for his work on the sitcom 'Reed Between the Lines,' on which he played a New York University professor. Costa Rican authorities said Warner drowned Sunday while swimming at a beach on the country's Caribbean coast, The Associated Press reported. 'My Big little Brother,' Eddie Griffin, who starred alongside Warner in the sitcom 'Malcolm & Eddie,' captioned an Instagram story tribute to the actor. 'I cannot believe this. This hurts my heart. A gentleman. An incredible talent. And we were so lucky to have him in the 911 family. Heartbroken and sending love to his family,' 9-1-1 actor Jennifer Love Hewitt shared on her Instagram story. American journalist and cohost of NBC's 'Today Show' Al Roker called Warner a 'lovely young man.' 'I've known him since his Cosby Show days,' Roker wrote. 'Our thoughts and prayers go out to his Mom and his family.' Essence, a Black-owned lifestyle magazine, said it was 'heartbroken' to share the news of the actor's passing, highlighting the impact of his work. 'His portrayal helped redefine Black boyhood on screen, offering humor, vulnerability, and depth across eight seasons,' the magazine wrote, referencing Warner's time on 'The Cosby Show.' Actor Niecy Nash also gave Warner his flowers for his performance on the popular '80s show, calling him the 'cornerstone' of the sitcom. 'Never to be forgotten. You will be missed. Rest Easy,' she captioned her Instagram post. Actor Jamie Foxx said he was 'speechless' at the news, dedicating a post to Warner on his Instagram account. 'Rest in power, my brother,' he wrote. 'Cookie and I are sad to hear about the passing of our dear friend,' wrote former NBA star Earvin 'Magic' Johnson on X. 'Every time I ran into Malcolm, we would have deep and fun conversations about basketball, life, and business. He will truly be missed. Cookie and I are praying [for] his family and close friends during this difficult time.' He included an emoji of folded hands, a symbol of prayer, in the post. Actor Tracee Ellis Ross, who co-starred with Warner on 'Reed Between the Lines,' said her heart was 'so so sad' at the news. She added: 'What an actor and friend you were: warm, gentle, present, kind, thoughtful, deep, funny, elegant.'

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?

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.
