A man accused of breaking into a car and stealing hard drives containing unreleased Beyoncé music was indicted by a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, this week.

Kelvin Evans faces charges of criminal trespass and entering a vehicle with intent to commit theft, according to the Oct. 13 indictment.

A hearing planned for Thursday was canceled following the indictment.

The indictment states that Evans allegedly entered a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer, the rental property of Christopher Grant, a choreographer for Beyoncé, on July 8 “with the intent to commit theft.”

Evans allegedly broke one of the vehicle’s windows in the process, according to the indictment.

A report filed July 8 by the Atlanta Police Department states that Grant returned to his vehicle following the alleged incident and noticed the damaged window, as well as several missing items, including two suitcases and hard drives for Beyoncé’s upcoming Cowboy Carter Tour show in Atlanta.

“The hard drives contained water marked music, some un-released music, footage plans for the show, and past and future set list,” the incident report states.

Police said they were able to track a laptop and AirPods Max allegedly stolen from the vehicle in the alleged incident by tracing the items’ “pinging” and eventually located them.

The report states that units were sent to canvas the area and a “suspicious person stop” was conducted. Police said they later dusted the items and found “two very light” fingerprints, as well as camera footage from the area where the alleged incident took place.

Police arrested Evans on Aug. 26. He was taken into custody by Hapeville Police Department and booked into the Fulton County Jail, according to the Atlanta Police Department.

Police said the stolen items had not been recovered at that time.

ABC News has reached out to Beyoncé for comment.

No information is available regarding Evans’ legal representation at this time.

First “Jolene” was Dolly Parton‘s romantic rival. Now Joleans is the name of her denim-centric collection with Kim Kardashian‘s company Good American.  

The first collab dropped in April, and now the second iteration is here, just in time for fall.

“Clothes can tell a story, and Dolly’s Joleans is another chapter in mine,” Dolly says. “Good American helped me take the rhinestones, denim, and flair I’ve loved for years and give them a fresh twist. Together, we wanted to capture the spirit of dressing up, having fun, and feeling fabulous.”

The new update adds 24 pieces that showcase crystal studs, belt accessories and some of the previous bestsellers in a new wash. Prices ranges from about $80 for a T-shirt to a couple hundred for jeans, a jacket or a dress.

While some people aspire to headline a Super Bowl halftime show, it’s not one of Nas‘ goals. 

Asked when he will be hitting the Super Bowl stage, Nas tells Complex, “That’s that some super rockstar s***. Nah, I don’t want to do … I can’t say I don’t want to do the Super Bowl, but I don’t.”

“Why would I do that? Leave it to the professionals. Leave it to the pros. I’m a pro at what I do,” he continues. “It’s the biggest stage. I want to watch it. I want to watch dope halftime shows and that’s what has been happening lately so salute to all of them.”

Nas’ chat with Complex arrives amid his promo run for Mass Appeal’s Legend Has It series, which features a comic book and new album releases from some of New York’s hip-hop icons, including Slick Rick, Mobb Deep and Ghostface Killah. 

Big L is next up on the list, with a posthumous project, Harlem’s Finest: Return Of The King, set to arrive on Oct. 31. The first single of the album, “u aint gotta chance,” is now available on streaming services, and it features a few bars from Nas.

“Even though Big L’s not here with us now, to get on the song with him is still pressure,” Nas shares with Rolling Stone. “He left an outstanding amount of serious rhymes. So just approaching it is like, ‘Damn, I wish we were doing this together, but it’s still an honor to do it.’”

Harlem’s Finest: Return Of The King is co-executive produced by Big L’s estate and Royce Da 5’9. It features a few freestyles and updated versions of tracks off his Return of The Devil’s Son album, which was previously taken off DSPs because of licensing issues.

Bruce Springsteen may make it look easy to sing “Born in the U.S.A.” in concert, but Jeremy Allen White learned that it’s anything but.

The Bear star, who plays Springsteen in the film Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, had to record the song for the movie. During an appearance on Hot Ones, he revealed that it had an adverse effect on his health.

“It’s a hard song to sing cause he’s not really singing it, you know. It’s shouting in key,” he said. “It’s like, you know, in order to get the sound that I was after, I was singing from my chest and I was singing from my throat. And I wasn’t breathing properly. I wasn’t singing from my stomach, which I should have been.”

“And I got knocked out. I got a migraine. I was on my back. I was sweating,” he added.

White says he saw Bruce at a party not long after recording the tune, and went up to him and said hello with barely any voice, which was apparently something Springsteen could relate to.

“He said, ‘What have you been doing?’ And I said, ‘I just recorded “Born in the U.S.A.”‘ And he said, ‘That sounds about right,'” White explained. “I couldn’t believe this man, even at the age of 75, 76 now, he’s performing this song for 90,000 people and then, you know, 19 other songs. It’s incredible.”

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere opens in theaters Oct. 24.

Love Jones‘ iconic duo Nia Long and Larenz Tate will work together again on an untitled romantic drama that has been greenlit by Netflix.

The untitled drama will mark another collaboration for Long and Tate, who teamed on the ’90s cult classic Love Jones. Their next movie, Antoine Fuqua’s Michael, will arrive on April 24, 2026. 

Long celebrated the news on Instagram, writing, “The timing is divine and working with @larenztate is my favorite thing to do. We’re doing this one for YOU!!!! Thank you for all the love from the bottom of my heart and soul. Let’s go.”

In his own post, Tate wrote, “REUNITED and it feels so good!!!! SUPER EXCITED to star along side the amazingly talented & phenomenal Nia Long! @iamnialong Devine timing indeed!”

“Maxwell my brotha you already know … it’s on!!! Netflix! We are making Sumthin’ special for YOU world!” he continued.

For the Trujillos, music continues to be a family affair.

Chloe Trujillo, wife of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, has released a new single called “As the Sky Is Falling Down.”

“The song is about spiritual transformation through chaos,” Chloe says. “It discusses the fall of material illusions and reveals a deeper truth. There’s a saying, ‘True liberation is not in escaping chaos, but in no longer being disturbed by it.’ I wasn’t allowing the craziness of the world to affect me. Instead, I was creating a lot of art and music.”

A video for “As the Sky Is Falling Down” will premiere Thursday at 7 p.m. ET. The track is also set to appear on an upcoming EP called Rebirth, due out in early 2026.

Along with Robert and Chloe, the couple’s son, Tye Trujillo, is a musician and plays in the band OTTTO.
