Beyoncé’s Unreleased Music Stolen From Rental Car in Atlanta

Unreleased music and sensitive materials belonging to Beyoncé were stolen from a rental car in Atlanta just days before her four-night Cowboy Carter tour performances at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The theft occurred on July 8 when the rented Jeep Wagoneer's rear window was smashed, and two suitcases containing hard drives with watermarked and unreleased tracks, choreography plans, set lists, laptops, and personal items were taken. Choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue, who were using the vehicle, reported the incident to the Atlanta Police Department, which has since recovered two faint fingerprints and tracked some stolen electronics using built-in tracking software. An arrest warrant has been issued, but the suspect's identity and the recovery of the stolen materials have not been confirmed. The incident has caused concern in the music industry and among fans due to the sensitive nature of the stolen content. No official statement has been released by Beyoncé’s team as she continues her tour in Atlanta.
