Post Malone sued over $2.5M for unpaid work in 2020 music video, claims he was promised pay but never received it.

Post Malone is facing a lawsuit filed in Utah on October 17, 2025, by Larry Deuel, a teacher and part-time limousine driver, over unpaid compensation for appearing in the 2020 music video for "Tommy Lee" with Tyla Yaweh. Deuel claims he was verbally promised payment after being hired to transport the artists to Malone’s ranch and later asked to participate in scenes, but received no compensation. The lawsuit seeks $2.5 million in compensatory damages and $7.5 million in punitive damages, citing breach of contract, fraudulent inducement, and misappropriation of likeness. Deuel says he attempted to resolve the matter for five years without a signed release. The case adds to Malone’s ongoing legal issues, including a custody dispute with his ex-fiancée, while he continues to expand his entertainment ventures, including his Nashville bar, Posty’s.
