Unreleased Beyoncé Music Stolen From Rental Car in Atlanta

• Jul 15, 2025

Unreleased music linked to Beyoncé was stolen from a rental car in Atlanta on July 8, just days before the start of her highly anticipated "Cowboy Carter" tour in the city. According to a police incident report, the theft involved items taken from a vehicle used by one of Beyoncé’s choreographers and a dancer.

The incident happened two days ahead of Beyoncé’s tour stop in Atlanta, adding a layer of tension as the team prepared for the performance. Details from the report indicate that personal belongings, including electronic equipment and music files, were taken from the car while it was parked in the city.

Authorities have not revealed exactly what was stolen, but sources close to the case said the items included unreleased Beyoncé music files. This raises concern over the possibility of the stolen material being leaked online.

As of now, Atlanta police are continuing to investigate the incident, but no suspects have been named and no arrests have been made. It is unclear whether the theft was random or if the vehicle was specifically targeted because of its connection to Beyoncé's team.

The stolen car was a rental vehicle, not marked or identifiable in any way that would directly link it to the superstar or her tour staff. This adds to the difficulty of determining whether the theft was intentional or simply opportunistic.

Beyoncé’s representatives have not publicly commented on the incident. The “Cowboy Carter” tour has continued as planned, with performances going ahead without disruption. However, the loss of unreleased material could pose both a creative and security challenge for the artist and her team.

This incident underscores the growing risks faced by artists and performers, not just on stage but also in terms of protecting their intellectual property. Unreleased content is often highly valuable, both artistically and financially, making it a prime target for theft.

Police are asking anyone with information about the theft to come forward. The investigation remains open as they work to recover the stolen items and determine how the theft occurred.
