Beyoncé’s Father Says He Would Have “Scolded” Choreographer Over Unreleased Music Theft

Mathew Knowles, Beyoncé’s father and former manager, has weighed in on the bizarre and troubling case involving unreleased Beyoncé music allegedly stolen from a rental car — and he’s not holding back.

Earlier this week, Beyoncé’s longtime choreographer JaQuel Knight made headlines after reporting that a laptop and hard drive containing unreleased music and confidential creative materials were stolen from a rental car in Los Angeles. The incident has sparked panic among fans, who fear the leak of highly anticipated content from Queen Bey.

Mathew Knowles has since spoken out in a candid interview, expressing his frustration over what he called “a completely avoidable mistake.”

“I love JaQuel and respect his work,” Knowles said, “but I would’ve absolutely scolded him if I were still managing things. When you’re dealing with content as sensitive as unreleased Beyoncé material, security must be airtight — no exceptions.”

While the LAPD continues investigating the theft, the incident has reignited debates in the music industry about how to properly secure digital assets, especially for artists of Beyoncé’s caliber.

Fans online have been quick to defend JaQuel, while others question how something so valuable ended up in an unattended vehicle. Knight has yet to share further details, but sources say he’s working to recover the stolen material and has increased personal security measures.

No official word has come from Beyoncé’s team yet, but insiders claim the music was from sessions tied to a future project. Whether that content surfaces or not remains to be seen.
