Last July, Beyoncé lit up Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium with her electrifying "Cowboy Carter" tour, but what followed was anything but a smooth ride. While visiting the bustling Krog Street Market, her choreographer, Christopher Grant, and a dancer parked their rental car, only to return to a shocking sight.
The trunk window had been shattered, and two suitcases were stolen—suitcases that held more than just clothes. Inside were crucial items including setlists, production plans, and a hard drive filled with Beyoncé's unreleased music! The loss also included personal items like designer sunglasses, a laptop, and AirPods Max headphones.
“Mr. Grant mentioned he was also carrying sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé,” a police report noted. “He indicated he was her choreographer and that the stolen hard drives contained watermarked and unreleased tracks, as well as vital plans for the upcoming Atlanta show.”
Who Stole Beyoncé's Unreleased Music?
Fast forward to September, and 30-year-old Kelvin Evans emerged as a suspect after being arrested for an unrelated parole violation. Thanks to the digital tracking features on some of the stolen items, police connected him to the audacious theft. Most of the stolen goods were recovered while he was incarcerated.
After posting a $20K bond in October, Evans appeared virtually in court this past January 7, pleading not guilty to charges of entering an automobile with intent to commit theft and criminal trespass. He’s set to return to court on February 11 for a case management hearing—will justice prevail in this high-profile case?
