Post Malone<\/a>‘s former driver says the rapper made him a star of his music video … then never paid him for it — and, now he’s suing Posty and others for millions.<\/p>\n

Larry Deuel — a teacher and limousine driver — is suing Malone … alleging that back in 2020 he and his collaborator Tyla Yaweh reached out to Deuel’s employer to drive them to Malone’s ranch for the “Tommy Lee” music video shoot.<\/p>\n

Once at the ranch, Deuel claims Post and Tyla asked him to take part in the video … and he alleges they told him he’d be “taken care of” if he did.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Deuel says he took that to mean he’d be paid for his services … so, he took part in the video — unrolling a carpet in the clip, opening doors and standing next to his limo for much of it.<\/p>\n

However, Deuel says he was never paid for this cameo … and he says he never signed away his name, image and likeness rights — so, he’s suing Post and Tyla Yaweh for fraudulent inducement, misappropriation of name and likeness, breach of contract and more.<\/p>\n

Deuel’s asking for a ton of money, too … suing for at least $2.5 million in principal damages and at least $7.5 million in punitive damages.<\/p>\n

We’ve reached out to Post Malone and Tyla Yaweh … so far, no word back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Post Malone Sued By Limo Driver For Millions … You Didn’t Pay Me For ‘Tommy Lee’ Vid Published…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":225346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":["post-225345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
