Unreleased Beyoncé Music Stolen From Rental Car Ahead of Cowboy Carter Tour Atlanta Stops
Unreleased Beyoncé music and other sensitive documents have been stolen in Atlanta after thieves allegedly broke into a rental car for the superstar's choreographer and one of her dancers last week. According to an incident report reviewed by The Hollywood Reporter, the alleged theft took place on the evening of July 8, less than two days before Beyoncé started her four-night run at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Per the report, choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue told authorities that they parked their rental car at a parking deck and left at just past 8 p.m., and that by the time they came back an hour later, they saw someone had broken in through the trunk and took two suitcases.

Also stolen were various clothing items, AirPods Max headphones and MacBook laptops. According to Atlanta's local ABC affiliate WSB-TV, which first reported the news of the theft, Atlanta Police have also issued a warrant for a suspect's arrest. Per the APD, police dusted the rental car and found two prints. A security camera caught video of the incident. According to the incident report, police used Find My to track the location of the AirPods and laptops, leading authorities to locations redacted on the report. One of the officers wrote in the report that they'd conducted a 'suspicious person stop' in the area the AirPods were pinging from. The theft isn't the first bit of drama to hit the Cowboy Carter Tour these past few weeks; last month, one of Beyoncé's hometown Houston shows was briefly paused after a scary malfunction with her prop car caused the vehicle to tilt in midair. A representative for Beyoncé didn't respond to THR's request for comment. The singer plays her final Cowboy Carter Atlanta show this evening.

AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM: Beyoncé's Unreleased Music Was Stolen In Atlanta During ‘Cowboy Carter' Tour Stop
Renaissance Act III might be even further away than we thought… Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty During Beyoncé's sold-out four-show run in Atlanta, the star's choreographer and one of her dancers said thieves broke into their SUV and stole numerous items. According to reports from local station Channel 2 WSB-TV , the items stolen include jump drives containing unreleased music, footage plans for her show, and past and future set lists. While news of the theft only became public on July 14, ahead of her final night in ATL, a spokesperson for Atlanta police told the station the break-in happened just after 8 p.m. on July 8. The break-in, which happened less than 48 hours before her first show in the city, occurred inside a parking deck at Krog Street Market. Channel 2's Michael Seiden reported on Monday evening that an arrest warrant has been issued for a suspect. Christopher Grant and Diandre Blue told police that they parked their rental black Jeep Wagoneer in the parking deck around 8:09 p.m. When they returned to their SUV, they discovered someone broke in through the back lift gate, and their two suitcases had been stolen. 'Mr. Grant advised he was also carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé,' an officer wrote in 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.' According to reports from Billboard , who received a statement from Atlanta police, ' the suspect remains outstanding, and their identity is not yet available for release.' 'On July 8, 2025, Atlanta Police Zone 6 officers responded to 99 Krog St. NE regarding a report of a theft from motor vehicle. Preliminary investigation revealed a Jeep Wagoneer was broken into at the location and two suitcases had been stolen,' the statement read. 'Investigators with the Atlanta Police Department's Larceny from Auto Unit led the investigation and have subsequently secured an arrest warrant for a suspect.' Beyoncé does not play about music leaks, so if whoever stole her hard drives puts unreleased songs on the internet, Bey just might end up scrapping them all.

Beyoncé's unreleased music was stolen. Now Atlanta PD has an arrest warrant in hand
Thinking of stealing from Team Beyoncé? Think twice, because Atlanta police have a suspect in their sights after jump drives containing unreleased music by the singer were stolen from her choreographer's van. 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. Read more: 'Reclaiming red, white and blue': What fans wore to Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' show in L.A. 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. Read more: He dazzled them with celebrity endorsements. Then came the lawsuits, bankruptcy and voodoo 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."

Someone stole unreleased Beyoncé music from a car in Atlanta. What to know about the investigation
A choreographer and a dancer traveling with Beyoncé for her concerts in Atlanta left their rental car in a parking garage for an hour while grabbing a bite, then returned to find a broken window and both of their suitcases stolen. They lost more than just clothing, sunglasses, and headphones. According to an Atlanta police report, the thief also made off with thumb drives containing the singer's unreleased music. Police say they have identified a suspect, but they hadn't announced any arrests as of Tuesday. Here's what we know about Beyoncé's stolen music. The break-in and robbery: The theft was reported July 8, which was two days before Beyoncé kicked off four nights of concerts at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium as part of tour of the US and Europe in support of her Grammy-winning album 'Cowboy Carter.' Beyoncé's choreographer, Christopher Grant, and dancer, Diandre Blue, called police after dining at a restaurant at a retail complex a few miles (kilometers) east of the downtown Atlanta stadium. They said their rented Jeep Wagoneer had been broken into while parked in a nearby garage. They had left it for about an hour after stopping to eat shortly after 8 p.m. Among the things that were stolen were two suitcases, a pair of sunglasses, Apple headphones, two Apple laptops, and five thumb drives, according to the police report. 'They have my computers and it's really really important information in there,' one of the men told a 911 operator in a recording released by police. 'I work with um someone who's like of a high status and I really need my computer and everything.' Grant told officers at the scene that he and Blue work for Beyoncé and that he had been carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician. The police report said the thumb drives contained watermarked music, unreleased music, footage, plans for the show, and past and future set list(s). A representative for Beyonce did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. Police zero in on a suspect: Investigators have secured an arrest warrant for a suspect, police said in a news release Monday. They did not release the suspect's name but said the person was at large. The 911 caller, who isn't identified on the released recording, noted that one of the stolen laptops had tracking software enabled. The police report says officers canvassed an area by following signals from the laptop and the stolen headphones. Although it's unclear what evidence following the tracking signals yielded, the police report lists a red 2025 Hyundai Elantra as a possible suspect vehicle. It also says an officer inspecting Grant and Blue's rented Jeep was able to retrieve two very light fingerprints. The police report also mentioned that cameras captured the incident at the garage. Car break-ins are common in Atlanta: As thousands of Atlanta residents and visitors learn every year, thieves commonly target parked cars with luggage and other potential valuables left in sight. There were 7,195 thefts from vehicles reported to Atlanta police in 2024, and 3,185 more have been reported since January. Police recorded 105 thefts from cars during the week before Beyonce's unreleased music was reported stolen. 'Take your bags, phone, and anything important with you every time you leave your car,' police said in their news release about the thefts from Beyonce's choreographer and dancer. 'Don't give criminals an easy win.'
