Beyoncé has a lot to celebrate recently. The superstar-mogul became the most decorated woman in Grammy history a few weeks ago after earning her 28th award at this year’s ceremony. Additionally, the Lemonade mastermind’s Ivy Park venture with Adidas has the company banking on the hope that it will boost the company to similar heights that Kanye’s massive Yeezy collab did. Unfortunately, some overzealous thieves took it upon themselves to get into some of Queen Bey’s goldmine, making it off with $1 million worth of stolen goods.

According to TMZ, the 39-year-old Houston native’s storage units were broken into earlier this month on two separate occasions. Law enforcement officials tell the publication that Bey’s valuables were hit twice and the culprits made it off with her expensive handbags and dresses. 

The publication also reports that while the units were being rented out by her Parkwood Entertainment production company, the missing items all belonged to the powerhouse herself. 

Sources close to the situation say the thieves came back to the site within a week of their first visit and rummaged through three storage units housed in the same facility. They made it off with handbags, children’s toys, and photos belonging to one of Bey’s stylists. 

Mrs. Carter is the latest in a string of singer’s to have their storage units burglarized. The publication reports that these kinds of crimes are on the rise in the area, with thieves recently stealing clothes, family photos, and mementos from Miley Cyrus’ storage unit.

The LAPD is currently embarking on its search for the culprits of the crimes. Until then, perhaps the Beyhive can–after all, they did find the notorious Becky with the good hair.

James Harden had a lot to prove this year following his exodus from the Houston Rockets. He has yet to win a title and hasn’t been back to the NBA Finals since his days with the Oklahoma City Thunder all the way back in 2012. In the end, Harden was traded to the Brooklyn Nets, who are easily one of the best teams in the league thanks to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Over the past few games, both of these players have been out of the lineup, which has allowed Harden to truly shine. 

Last night, Harden did just that in a win against the Detroit Pistons. It was a close game but Harden was able to notch 44 points which were more than enough to secure the victory. Following the match, Harden spoke about his performance and how he deserves to be the MVP.

“Do I feel like I belong in it? I feel like I am the MVP,” James said. “I mean, it’s just that simple. I don’t want to be speaking individually on myself. I am just going to leave it at that.”

With guys like LeBron James and Kevin Durant injured, Harden is making a great case for himself and if he keeps performing like this, the NBA might just have to give him the trophy. A second MVP would certainly cement him as an all-time great.

Stipe Miocic has proven himself to be one of the best heavyweight fighters in the history of the UFC and at 38 years old, he has plenty of plans on his mind. Of course, Miocic will be fighting Francis Ngannou soon, however, it seems as though he is looking to get into the sport of boxing. While speaking to TMZ, Miocic claimed that he would be down to go up against Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury, who are set to fight each other soon.

“I would love [a boxing match w/ Fury or Joshua]. It would be just a different — get out of my comfort zone. Plus it’s a fight, anything can happen and I know I can make something happen,” Miocic said.

Miocic was asked about whether or not he would go up against Mike Tyson, although at this point, Miocic seems content with staying away from that specific challenge. Even with Tyson’s old age, Miocic isn’t looking for that kind of smoke.
