Unreleased Beyoncé music was reportedly stolen from her choreographer and one of her dancers out of their rental car less than 48 hours before she kicked off her run of “Cowboy Carter” shows in Atlanta.
An arrest warrant was issued on Monday for an unidentified suspect who allegedly broke into the rental car on July 8, stealing jump drives containing unreleased music, footage plans for her live show, and previous and upcoming set lists. According to WSB-TV Atlanta, choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue reported that the thieves also took clothes, designer sunglasses, laptops and a pair of AirPods Max headphones.
Police were led to an undisclosed location after using the “Find My” function to ping the headphones, and are following up on multiple leads. “Mr. Grant advised he was also carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé,” reads 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.”
A representative for Beyoncé did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.
Beyoncé is nearing the finish line of her “Cowboy Carter” tour, with plans to wrap her four Atlanta shows tonight. She is next scheduled to perform in Las Vegas for two nights that conclude the trek, which initially kicked off in Los Angeles on Aug. 28.
