Man pleads guilty in theft of unreleased Beyoncé music and tour materials in Atlanta, avoids trial


Kelvin Evans, the man accused of stealing unreleased Beyoncé music and tour-related materials in Atlanta, pleaded guilty in court on Tuesday, avoiding a scheduled trial. During the hearing, Evans accepted responsibility as part of a plea agreement and was sentenced to five years, with two years to be served in custody and the remainder on probation. As part of the deal, a second charge was merged into the primary count.

Under the terms of his probation, Evans was ordered to stay away from locations tied to the case, have no contact with the victim, and avoid any further legal violations. The case stemmed from charges of criminal trespass and entering a vehicle with intent to commit theft, outlined in an indictment filed in October 2024.

Authorities alleged that Evans unlawfully entered a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer rented by Christopher Grant, a choreographer for Beyoncé, in July 2025 with the intent to steal items inside. When Grant returned to the vehicle, he reportedly found a damaged window and discovered that several belongings were missing, including two suitcases and hard drives linked to Beyoncé’s upcoming “Cowboy Carter” tour stop in Atlanta.

According to the incident report, the stolen hard drives contained watermarked and unreleased music, footage plans for the tour, and past and future set lists.
