A suspect in the theft of Beyoncé's hard drive has reportedly been arrested.

In July, it was reported that someone broke into a vehicle belonging to the Cowboy Carter vocalist ahead of one of her Atlanta performances. TMZ obtained a 911 call recording of a person reporting the hard drive stolen, which had a tracker.

"They have my computer, and it's really, really important information in there," the caller said. "I work with someone who's of a high status, and I really need my computer and everything.

In a new TMZ report published on Tuesday (Sept. 16), it was confirmed that a suspect, Kelvin Evans, was arrested this week for breaking into the Jeep Wagoneer, although the drive has not been recovered. Two suitcases were also stolen from the vehicle.

Authorities say that the drive held Beyoncé's unreleased music, concert set lists and footage plans. The suspect is now in Fulton County Jail.

Despite the robbery, the Cowboy Carter Tour went smoothly during its 32-date run, ending with a Las Vegas show in July. The trek earned a whopping $407.6 million in ticket sales, becoming the shortest tour to do so.

Months before the tour began, Cowboy Carter received a Grammy for Album of the Year, in addition to Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

ComplexCon returns to Las Vegas on October 25–26, 2025, with over 300 brands and live performances by Young Thug, YEAT & Friends, Peso Pluma, Central Cee, Ken Carson, and more. Get your tickets now.
