Overview
- Larry Deuel filed the case on October 17, 2025 in Utah’s 4th District Court, naming Post Malone, Tyla Yaweh, Sony Music Entertainment and other parties.
- The complaint alleges fraudulent inducement, misappropriation of name and likeness, breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
- Deuel seeks not less than $10 million in damages, including punitive damages and attorneys’ fees, according to the filing.
- He says he was hired to drive the artists to Malone’s ranch in 2020, was asked to appear in the 'Tommy Lee' video, was promised he would be "taken care of," and never signed a release.
- The suit recounts multiple attempts to resolve the dispute since 2020, cites an August 8, 2025 demand letter, alleges security refused service, and notes no public response from Malone or Yaweh.
