Save your alligator tears and page the bodyguard, because Beyoncé needs a protector right now.
Hard drives containing some of the music icon’s unreleased music, watermarked music, concert footage plans, and set lists have been stolen from the car of her choreographer, Christopher Grant, according to a police report reviewed by Entertainment Weekly.
Around 8 p.m. on July 8, Grant and one of Beyoncé’s crew of touring dancers, Diandre Blue, say they left Grant’s Jeep Wagoneer in the parking deck at Atlanta’s Krog Street Market. When they returned an hour later, the pair say they noticed the car’s trunk window had been damaged, and then discovered two black suitcases had been stolen from inside the car.
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to a representative for Beyoncé for comment.
In addition to the hard drives, Grant says the stolen luggage contained a MacBook Pro 16″, Apple Max Pro headphones, a pair of Tom Ford sunglasses valued at $500, a $725 Tumi book bag, three pairs of shoes valued at $500, and $1,000 in clothes. Blue also reported a stolen bag and MacBook Air 13″.
The report notes that two sets of fingerprints were found on the vehicle, and that cameras in the area captured the incident. The Atlanta Police Department announced on Monday that they have secured an arrest warrant for a suspect in the case, but have declined to release additional identifying information.

This is the latest hitch on the tour for an artist known for pulling off tours without even the suggestion of a problem.
While performing at the NRG Stadium in her hometown of Houston on June 28, Beyoncé was caught in a terrifying technical malfunction while soaring over the crowd in a red convertible held aloft by wires.
“Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop,” she said into the microphone, interrupting her own performance of the Cowboy Carter single “16 Carriages” as the car began to dangerously tilt. Ever the professional, Beyoncé thanked the crowd for their patience as the rig was slowly lowered to the ground, and she carried on with the rest of the show.
