Beyoncé Choreographer’s 911 Call Released After Car Theft

The 911 call from Beyoncé’s choreographer following a car break-in has been released.

The singer’s unreleased music, concert set lists, show plans and more were taken from a vehicle in Atlanta via laptops and thumb drives on July 8, the Associated Press reported, citing a police incident report.

Newsweek contacted the Atlanta Police Department and Beyoncé’s representative for comment via email outside regular working hours.

The Context

In February, the 35-time Grammy Award winner announced a tour for Cowboy Carter, her country-inspired album released last year.

In March 2024, Spotify said Cowboy Carter was its most-streamed album in a single day. The album also had the most-first day streams of a country album by a female artist on Amazon Music.

Beyoncé—who shares daughter Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Sir with her husband, the rapper Jay-Z—performed in Atlanta for four nights from July 10 to 14.

What To Know

Christopher Grant, Beyoncé’s choreographer, and dancer Diandre Blue told authorities their 2024 Jeep Wagoneer rental car had been damaged and two suitcases stolen from it.

“Someone broke into my car,” Grant said in the 911 call, per WSB-TV—an ABC affiliate in Atlanta. “I was parked in a garage while I went to a restaurant. But they stole, like my computers and everything, but it has the tracker on it.”

He continued: “They have my computers, and it’s really, really important information in there. I work with someone who’s like of a high status, and I really need the, um, my computer and everything.”

Grant said he used the “Find My” app to try to locate the items.

Security cameras captured the theft, and the suspect’s vehicle appeared to be a 2025 red Hyundai Elantra, the AP reported. “Light prints” were detected at the scene, and the police have issued an arrest warrant.

What People Are Saying

The Atlanta Police Department warned motorists of car break-ins on Facebook on July 1 as part of its Clean Car Campaign: “We know quick stops can turn into costly mistakes. It only takes seconds for a thief to spot valuables and break in. Take your bags, phone, and anything important with you every time you leave your car. Don’t give criminals an easy win.”
