Arrest Warrant Issued After Theft of Beyoncé Unreleased Music, Tour Plans in Atlanta

Beyoncé's choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue reported a car break-in on July 8 in Atlanta, where laptops, hard drives, and jump drives containing unreleased music, future concert set lists, and show plans for Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour were stolen. The theft occurred shortly before Beyoncé's tour dates in Atlanta, with the stolen items described as containing sensitive and watermarked materials critical to the tour. Grant used Apple's Find My app to track the stolen devices, leading police to a possible vicinity and prompting a suspicious vehicle stop, but the items have not yet been recovered. Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for an unnamed suspect, whose vehicle was identified as a 2025 red Hyundai Elantra from security footage. Police continue to investigate the incident, which has raised concerns due to the high-profile nature of the stolen content and the impact it could have on Beyoncé's ongoing tour. The incident highlights the vulnerability of valuable digital assets in the entertainment industry despite technological tracking measures.
