Lil Wayne Claims His Actions Were ‘Non-Discriminatory’ As He Disputes Allegations In $500K Lawsuit Filed By Former Chef Allegedly Fired For Leaving Work Trip To Care For Her Injured Child

Lil Wayne Claims His Actions Were ‘Non-Discriminatory’ As He Disputes Allegations In $500K Lawsuit Filed By Former Chef Allegedly Fired For Leaving Work Trip To Care For Her Injured Child

Lil Wayne (real name Dwayne Michael Carter) is defending himself against wrongful termination allegations made in a lawsuit filed by his former chef.

The five-time Grammy winner doesn’t believe he owes Morghan Medlock a dime in her $500,000 lawsuit. He and his team are denying every accusation of wrongdoing, and he wants the court to dismiss the suit, RadarOnline reported.

According to Lil Wayne, his actions were

“legitimate, good faith, justified, non-discriminatory, and or non-retaliatory business reasons.”

As previously reported, Medlock says she traveled with Lil Wayne and his buddies to Las Vegas for Memorial Day, cooking and preparing meals as usual.

She claims, however, to have learned during the trip that her 10-year-old suffered a head injury and required hospitalization in Los Angeles.

According to Medlock, despite working for the rapper for two years, she was wrongfully let go for leaving Vegas early to care for her child.

The lawsuit claims that Wayne delayed their scheduled trips when it was time to depart because he was smoking on the aircraft. After reportedly informing Wayne’s assistant, Medlock made the decision to leave the group and arrange her own travel back home.

Medlock alleges she made it clear to Wayne‘s camp that she was merely checking on her son and not abandoning her job — but the Louisiana rapper and his crew still ignored her after she resolved her family matters. She says that a few days later, Wayne gave a member of his team instructions to “tell Chef Morghan this isn’t going to work.”

But Wayne doesn’t necessarily agree with that account. The rapper contended that Medlock wasn’t image nor harmed by his actions. He also says that she was not his employee, but an independent contractor.

According to Wayne, any actions the chef claimed were a result of his conduct were

“a just and proper exercise of discretion and business judgment, undertaken for a fair and honest reason and regulated by good faith under the circumstances then existing.”

Medlock, on the other hand, notes that it is illegal in California to dismiss an employee for being absent from work in order to care for a sick or injured child — and she demands at least $500,000 for the injustice.
