The car was allegedly targeted after the two, Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue, parked their car at a parking deck and left at around 8 PM, only to return an hour later to discover it had been broken into through the trunk. Several items were stolen, including the following:

"Hard drives that contained 'watermarked music, unreleased music, footage plans for the show and past and future set lists, various clothing items, AirPods Max headphones and MacBook laptops."

The Atlanta Police are said to be investigating the case and have made progress through fingerprints, camera footage and location tracking through the Find My software.

The theft occurred days before the Atlanta leg of Bey's tour, scheduled for 10 to 14 July at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

"Wait, what were unreleased songs even doing in the dancers’ SUV? Something’s not adding up here."

"Whoever stole that, trust, you will be dealt with."
