Lil Wayne and his ex-personal chef have settled their lawsuit amicably, with the latter bringing it against the rapper for allegedly engaging in wrongful termination.
KTLA is reporting that the suit was settled as of Thursday (March 7), according to papers filed by the attorney for Morghan Medlock.
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but the parties reached a settlement two days prior to the relevant paperwork being filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Judge Kristin S. Escalante accepted the terms of the settlement, which concludes a long and rancorous battle that began in December 2022, when Medlock first accused Weezy of wrongfully terminating her from her position as his part-time personal chef.
Medlock said the issue first occurred when she accompanied Wayne on a Memorial Day trip to Las Vegas and had to suddenly leave when she was notified that her 10-year-old had sustained a head injury that left him hospitalized.
Though they all boarded Wayne’s private jet to return to L.A., he reportedly severely delaying the flight by smoking on it, so she hopped on a different flight. Medlock assumed the rapper’s team would understand the situation, especially because she was two years into the gig, but she alleged that she was terminated instead.
The docs stated that Wayne’s team continued to ask her if she was quitting after the incident, and that despite saying she wasn’t, Medlock got the cold shoulder when trying to return to work. Eventually, she was formally told she was being let go.
The former chef says her termination violates a California law that states it’s illegal to fire someone because they missed work to care for their sick or injured child. She sought $500,000 in damages.
Shortly after the filing, a spokesman for the Young Money boss told The Neighborhood Talk that Medlock’s termination had nothing to do with her family emergency, claiming instead that she was let go due to a breach of privacy.
In a post sharing the statement, The Neighborhood Talk pointed to several TikTok posts in which she identified herself as Lil Wayne’s private chef.
One such post found Medlock demonstrating the steps she takes to set up food and snacks on Weezy’s private flights. Others included captions such as “Chef Morghan Flying To Cook Lil Wayne Dinner” and “Lil Wayne’s Favorite Foods By Chef Morghan.”
The posts remained on Medlock’s publicly accessible TikTok page despite her termination and the subsequent legal action.
