Matthew Knowles, the father of Beyoncé, has publicly addressed a recent incident involving the theft of unreleased music from the superstar singer. This alarming breach of security highlights the vulnerabilities artists face in protecting their intellectual property in the digital age.
A hard drive containing sensitive data was reportedly stolen from one of Beyoncé‘s choreographers following a performance in Atlanta. This incident raises significant concerns about the handling of confidential materials by those in close proximity to high-profile artists.
During an interview with Don Lemon, Knowles expressed his frustration, stating: “I don’t know anything other than what I’ve heard in the news. But I can tell you, Don, her choreographer had better be glad that I’m not still managing her because he would be in hot water!” His remarks underscore the potential ramifications of negligence in safeguarding artistic assets. He further questioned, “Why did he have a hard drive with all of her music? He’s a choreographer. And if he did have it, why didn’t he secure it?”
According to WSB-TV, a local news outlet in Atlanta, the vehicle belonging to Beyoncé‘s choreographer and dancer was unlawfully entered on July 8. The theft not only jeopardized the singer’s unreleased tracks but also raised alarms about the safety protocols employed by those involved in her production team.
