911 Call From Choreographer In Beyoncé-Related Car Break-In Released
911 audio has been revealed from the moment Beyoncé's choreographer called Atlanta emergency services to report their vehicle had been broken into. A brief clip was shared by NBC News, detailing part of the conversation that highlighted Christopher Grant's attempt to explain the magnitude of the break-in. '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.

Beyoncé's ‘COWBOY CARTER' Concert Ends With 'Stampede'
Multiple people were reportedly injured following a confusing incident after Beyoncé's COWBOY CARTER concert in Atlanta. According to Axios Atlanta, on Monday (July 14), an escalator malfunction was allegedly triggered by a 'stampede.' The escalator manufacturer, MARTA and Schindler, is said to be investigating what happened and how 11 people were injured. The outlet noted that MARTA Police on scene 'reported that a person began screaming and running, causing a stampede on the escalator that caused it to temporarily speed up and then stop suddenly.' One of the injured parties, who broke their leg and required emergency surgery, expressed disdain for the number of MARTA officers on site. They described the moment by saying, 'Then all of a sudden it was free-falling to the bottom.' Local news station WRDW reported that the disarray was caused by an unidentified person who began running dramatically after seeing a bug, which caused the escalator-hauling stampede. 'The initial reports were that a woman was scared of an insect and screamed and ran away from it, and others panicked, not knowing what was happening,' a MARTA spokesperson shared with the outlet. A witness seemingly confirmed the chaotic scene and explained, 'I see that people are starting to run at the entrance, which of course, when you see somebody running, you probably want to run, too.' The drama seemed to follow the Grammy winner in the Georgia capital. During Beyoncé's time in town, unreleased music, production plans, and more were stolen from her choreographer's rental vehicle. Police have identified a suspect and issued a warrant as the investigation continues.

Fans had other plans at the 2025 AMAs; Lamar left waiting
Fans rewrite the story at 2025 AMAs This year's American Music Awards proved once again that fan votes can flip the script. In a season where Kendrick Lamar dominated headlines with 'Not Like Us' and led the nominations with ten nods, it was Billie Eilish who took home the coveted Artist of the Year. Fans at home had the final say, reshaping what many assumed would be Lamar's victory lap after his Grammy sweep. While Lamar did secure nominations across major hip-hop and song categories, he was left out of several wins, most notably Song of the Year and Favorite Male Hip-Hop Artist.
