Man Gets Two Years for Stealing Beyoncé’s Unreleased Music

The plea deal underscores security gaps around unreleased material on tour.

Overview

  • Kelvin Evans pleaded guilty in Atlanta under a negotiated deal that includes two years in prison with the rest of a five-year term on probation, according to multiple reports.
  • In July 2025, police say he broke into a rented Jeep used by Beyoncé’s team and took two suitcases holding laptops, USB drives with unreleased music, and future show song lists.
  • Investigators said surveillance cameras captured Evans during the break-in, and officers arrested him in August 2025.
  • The judge barred him from contacting the victims and from returning to the parking garage where the theft occurred, the Fulton County prosecutor’s office told the BBC.
  • The hard drives with the unreleased material have not been recovered, and prosecutors also say he may be linked to other auto break-ins.
