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.
The suspect had stolen hard drives that contained “water marked music, some un-released music, footage plans for the show and past and future set lists.” 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.
