Publish Malone Sued By Limo Driver, Claims He Wasn’t Paid for Look in Music Video

Publish Malone‘s former driver says the rapper made him a star of his music video … then by no means paid him for it — and, now he is suing Posty and others for thousands and thousands.

Larry Deuel — a instructor and limousine driver — is suing Malone … alleging that again 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.

As soon as on the ranch, Deuel claims Publish and Tyla requested him to participate within the video … and he alleges they advised him he’d be “taken care of” if he did.

Deuel says he took that to imply he’d be paid for his providers … so, he took half within the video — unrolling a carpet within the clip, opening doorways and standing subsequent to his limo for a lot of it.

Nonetheless, Deuel says he was by no means paid for this cameo … and he says he by no means signed away his identify, picture and likeness rights — so, he is suing Publish and Tyla Yaweh for fraudulent inducement, misappropriation of identify and likeness, breach of contract and extra.

Deuel’s asking for a ton of cash, too … suing for a minimum of $2.5 million in principal damages and a minimum of $7.5 million in punitive damages.
