The man accused of stealing hard drives that contained unreleased Beyoncé music in July 2025 pleaded guilty on Tuesday to avoid a jury trial.

He was handed a sentence of five years that includes two years in prison and the rest on probation, and was also ordered to stay away from the victims and the location of the theft.
