Kelvin Evans pleads guilty to stealing hard drives and laptops from a car before singer’s Atlanta tour dates in 2025

A man arrested for stealing hard drives containing unreleased Beyoncé music has pleaded guilty in an Atlanta court on Tuesday.

Kelvin Evans was arrested by the Atlanta police department in September in connection to a July 2025 car robbery where two suitcases containing Beyoncé music and tour plans were stolen from a rental car.

In an Atlanta court this morning, Evans accepted a five-year sentence of which he will serve two years in custody. Previously he had pleaded not guilty and reportedly declined to take a deal in April, according to Rolling Stone.

Evans was ordered to avoid the location of the theft in Atlanta and refrain from contact with the victim as part of his probation terms.
