The unpublished Beyoncé music was reportedly stolen from her choreographer and one of her dancers from her rental car less than 48 hours before the start of her Cowboy Carter shows in Atlanta.
Details of the Theft
On Monday, an arrest warrant against an unknown suspect was enacted, which was allegedly involved in breaking into the rental car on July 8.

According to WSB TV Atlanta, the choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue reported that the thieves also took clothes, designer sunglasses, laptops, and a few Airpods Max headphones.

He advised that he was her choreographer and Mr. Diandre Blue for her and her hard drives for her upcoming show in Atlanta.
