Lil Wayne Sued For Allegedly Firing Chef After She Left For A Family Emergency

Lil Wayne found himself in hot water after his former personal chef filed a lawsuit against him.

On Tuesday, TMZ obtained the legal documents filed by chef Morgan Medlock against the rapper — whose real name is Dwayne Carter. The chef alleged that he fired her for leaving work because of her sick child, accusing Lil Wayne of wrongful termination, discrimination and retaliation, to name a few.

Medlock revealed that the 40-year-old "Best Rapper Alive" hitmaker hired her in October 2020. She continuously worked for him for over a year and reportedly prepared most of his meals throughout her work as his personal chef.

The court filing also detailed her tasks, which included but were not limited to "shopping and preparation of each meal, coordinating the anticipated number of meals to prepare in addition to meeting others demands and requests."

Medlock added that she always coordinated Lil Wayne's menus daily to meet his requests. Her job also included traveling with the rapper on his business trips.

However, things abruptly ended when she accompanied him on a Memorial Day trip to Las Vegas. At that time, she received a message saying that her 10-year-old child had sustained a head injury that left him hospitalized. With that, she had to leave to attend to her child.

Medlock claimed in the documents that Lil Wayne delayed the flight by smoking on his private jet, leading her to take a different flight instead. Far from what she expected, the rapper terminated her instead of understanding the situation.

The same legal documents disclosed how Lil Wayne's team continuously asked her if she was quitting or not after the incident. Although she said she was not and would continue her work, she suffered the cold shoulder when she tried to report again until she was formally informed of her termination.

After what happened, Medlock decided to seek $500,000 and explained that the termination violated California law that states it is illegal to remove someone from work just because they missed work due to their sick or injured child.

"[Lil Wayne showed] conduct with a substantial factor and causing harm to (the chef) including but not limited to loss of earnings and other employment, benefits, mental anguish, and emotional distress," the legal filing read.

Lil Wayne and his representatives have yet to respond to the lawsuit. But the document was filed amid the rapper's ongoing assault lawsuit. His former assistant, Andrew Williams, sued him, Young Money Entertainment and Signature Flight Support after an alleged altercation in June.
