More about Morghan Medlock's lawsuit
In December 2022, personal chef Medlock sued Lil Wayne, alleging wrongful termination, retaliation, and unlawful practices. She claims she was fired earlier that year after she left him in Vegas to attend to a family emergency.
Per a December 2022 report by TMZ, citing court documents, Medlock accompanied the rapper to Las Vegas in May. Sometime during the trip, she claimed she was notified that her 10-year-old was hospitalized after sustaining a head injury. She wanted to rush home but was delayed due to the rapper's alleged shenanigans.
At the time, she chose to rush to her son on a separate flight and informed Wayne's assistant of the same. She hoped they would understand; however, she was fired. In March 2024, the rapper and Medlock settled the lawsuit.
