Beyoncé's unreleased music stolen in Atlanta, viral 911 call audio reveals shocking details
n July 8, just days before Beyoncé's final Atlanta show, her choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue parked their rented Jeep Wagoneer near Krog Street Market.
When they returned an hour later, the rear window had been smashed and two suitcases were gone — triggering a 911 call that's now gone viral.
Inside those bags there were hard drives with unreleased, watermarked Beyoncé music, tour setlists, choreography plans, and production notes, behind-the-scenes footage from the Cowboy Carter tour, macbook laptops, apple airpods max and luxury clothing and accessories, including Tom Ford sunglasses
Live Tracking and Police Response
Grant told dispatchers, 'They stole my computer, but it has a tracker on it. It's really, really important information on there. I work with someone who is of high status.' As per the 911 call audio via TMZ
Thanks to Find My feature, the crew tracked the stolen electronics in real time.
Police responded swiftly, dusted for fingerprints retrieving two light prints, and reviewed surveillance footage from the garage. A red Hyundai Elantra was identified as a suspect vehicle, and an arrest warrant has been issued though the suspect's name remains undisclosed.
Sensitive material at risk
The stolen hard drives reportedly contained never-before-heard tracks, future setlists, and personal documents that had never left Beyoncé's inner circle.
The breach has raised serious concerns about tour security, especially for artists traveling with unreleased creative assets.
This isn't the first time Beyoncé has faced theft. In 2021, her storage units in Los Angeles were targeted, with over 1 million dollars in designer items stolen.
Although Beyoncé has not spoken in public, the incident has prompted industry-wide discussions on data security, crew safety, and the vulnerability of prominent performers touring. With the Cowboy Carter tour wrapping up in Las Vegas later this month, fans are hoping Queen Bey's unreleased work remains safe and that justice is served.
