Ahead of a “Cowboy Carter Tour” stop in Atlanta, Beyoncé’s tour plans, unreleased music, and other secret materials were stolen last week in Atlanta out of a car belonging to her choreographer and one of her dancers.
Other items that went missing included laptops, sunglasses, clothing, and a pair of AirPods Max headphones, which gave investigators some clues, as they used Apple’s “Find My” feature in an attempt to locate the headphones.
Local station WSB-TV reports that on July 8, the theft took place in a parking deck near Krog Street Market. Choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue found that two suitcases were taken from a Jeep they were renting.
“Mr. Grant advised he was also carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé,” a police incident report reads. “…[H]ard drives for her upcoming show in Atlanta were also stolen. The hard drives contained watermarked music, some unreleased music, footage plans for the show, and past and future set lists.”
“He advised that 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 also stolen. The hard drives contained watermarked music, some unreleased music, footage plans for the show, and past and future set lists,” the report continued.
Law enforcement also reported that several suspects were questioned about the theft, as they were in a car that was “moving at the same time as the tracking on the AirPods.” Michael Seiden, or WSB-TV’s an arrest warrant was issued on Monday (July 14).
No one has yet been charged.
On another note, JAY-Z brought some good vibes as he made his second Cowboy Carter Tour on Sunday (July 13). The power couple performed their classic “Crazy In Love” together before Hov performed “Public Service Announcement.”
After her final show in Atlanta on Monday, Beyoncé is heading to Las Vegas on July 25 and 26 to close out the tour.
