Lil Wayne’s former chef has filed a $500k lawsuit, claiming she was wrongfully fired because she had to take care of her injured child, it’s been claimed. According to The Blast, Morgan Medlock has filed a suit against the rapper, saying she was fired after having to leave work when she found out her son had suffered a head injury and concussion during Memorial Day Weekend.
Morgan, who was with Wayne in Las Vegas and his entourage at the time, explained in the docs that she needed to head back to Los Angeles to be with her 10-year-old, but the flight was delayed due to Wayne’s insistence on smoking onboard the aircraft. The two-year employee asserted that she was forced to take a separate flight but kept the Grammy winner’s team informed once she was finally with her son.
Morgan then received a message from one of Weezy’s assistants, asking whether she was quitting her job. Considerign she had no intentions of leaving her job for good, she responded with a simple “No,” before a follow-up message text from the assistant read, “Goodbye.”
“Tell Chef Morghan this isn’t going to work,” Wayne is alleged to have told his assistant. Understandably, Morgan was completely taken aback by the abrupt termination of her contract with Wayne, especially since her decision to leave work was due to her son’s health.
The lawsuit mentions that her firing was a clear act of violation of California law considering her absence was simply because of a family emergency which neither Wayne nor his team appeared to have had any compassion over.
Morgan has therefore filed the $500k lawsuit, stressing that her sudden firing was a clear act of discrimination, implying that there is no way she could have remained at her job knowing that her son had been injured and needed to be taken care of.

“Her tasks included but were not limited to the shopping and preparation of each meal, coordinating the anticipated number of meals to prepare in addition to meeting others’ demands and requests,” her representatives noted in the court papers. Morgan remained in close contact with Weezy’s team even when she was with her son, indicating that she never neglected her responsibilities because she was keeping everyone in the loop of what was going on during the time she was tending to her son.
Lil Wayne has yet to respond to the lawsuit.
