Young Money’s Lil Wayne is being taken to court after being accused of firing his personal chef when she had to go care for her son who suffered a head injury.According to TMZ, a wrongful termination lawsuit was filed against Lil Wayne, aka Wayne Carter. His former personal chef, MorghanMedlock, alleges that she was fired after she had to attend to a family emergency regarding her son.Documents obtained by TMZ state that Medlock, who has been employed for almost two years by the rapper, had been with Wayne in Las Vegas for Memorial Day Weekend. She received a phone call notifying her of a head injury her son had suffered. The injury was so severe that he had to be taken to the hospital. She wanted to leave Vegas to head back to Los Angeles to be with her son and she accuses Wayne of messing up the flight arrangements by sparking up weed on the plane and delaying takeoff.Medlock decided to make her own flight arrangements to get back to her son as soon as she could. She booked another flight and stated that she informed the rapper’s assistant of her plans to leave to get back to her son. Instead of being compassionate to her plight, Medlock said she was terminated.Medlock alleged that after she left Vegas, Wayne’s team questioned her and kept asking if she had quit the position. She told them no.
When her son was feeling better, she tried to regain her position to which she alleges that she was given the cold shoulder.Medlock said she was notified via text that she was being let go with a message from Wayne that quoted him as saying, “tell Chef Morghan this isn’t going to work.”In the lawsuit, she said that the termination of her job is in violation of California law, which is “to fire someone because they missed work to care for their sick or injured child.”She is asking to be compensated at least half a million dollars.
