"Why would they leave any of that stuff in the car in ATLANTA?": Debate ensures as fans react to Beyoncé's unreleased music and footage being stolen

Beyoncé’s unreleased music that was stored on hard drives was allegedly stolen from a rental car during the singer’s ongoing Cowboy Carter tour. The incident happened on July 8, 2025, when Beyoncé’s choreographer, Christopher Grant, reported to the police about the theft.

The car, rented by Grant, was parked in a space at Krog Street Market in Atlanta when certain items were stolen. A few more dancers also accompanied Grant, and they arrived at the place at 8:09 p.m., as stated in a police report acquired by People magazine (July 14).

However, Grant and his dancers witnessed, around an hour later (around 9:10 p.m.), that two suitcases inside the car were missing and the trunk window was damaged.

Multiple items were stolen from the car apart from the suitcases, which contained hard drives of Beyoncé’s watermarked and unreleased music and two laptops. The suitcases also contained footage plans, set lists for the upcoming shows, and other confidential information.

Other items that were stolen included Apple Max Pro headphones, three pairs of shoes worth $500, clothes worth $1,000, a Tumi book bag worth $725, a MacBook Pro 16, a MacBook Air 13, a bag, and a pair of Tom Ford sunglasses, as stated by Entertainment Weekly.

Although Lip Sync Battle star has not commented about the robbery, netizens took to the comments section of a post shared by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram to share their reactions to the same.

One of them questioned the reasons for leaving so many things inside the car and wrote:

“Sad but why would they leave any of that stuff in the car in ATLANTA??”
