Reasons Behind Morghan Medlock’s Lawsuit Against Lil Wayne: A Look into the Former Chef’s Legal Battle in Light of the Rapper’s Alleged Relationship with LeahAngelie Murphy

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., commonly known as Lil Wayne, is reported to be in a romantic relationship with his private chef, LeahAngelie Murphy, for almost a year. As detailed in a recent article by TMZ Hip Hop on Friday, October 18, 2024, Murphy was introduced to the music icon last year, following his prior chef Morghan Medlock’s lawsuit for wrongful termination.

To provide some background, Morghan Medlock filed a lawsuit against Lil Wayne in December 2022, alleging wrongful termination, retaliation, and engaging in unlawful practices. She contended that she was dismissed earlier that year after leaving her scheduled shift in Vegas to attend to her hospitalized 10-year-old son.

In her civil lawsuit, Medlock stated that while she was accompanying Lil Wayne to Las Vegas over the Memorial Day weekend, she received distressing news about her son’s hospitalization due to a head injury.

A report from XXL in March 2024 indicated that Morghan sought to return home quickly but faced delays due to Weezy allegedly smoking on the plane. Consequently, she decided to book a different flight to expedite her return, informing the rapper’s assistant of her plans.

Having worked with him for two years, Medlock hoped for understanding regarding her situation; instead, she was terminated.

Fox 11 referenced Medlock’s legal claim, which stated:

“Although she was fully aware of her duties and anticipated return date, Ms. Medlock tried her utmost to arrange her return to Los Angeles in alignment with her work responsibilities and (Lil Wayne’s) travel itinerary, allowing her to care for her son immediately afterward.”

Despite her communication attempts, Medlock reported that she received numerous inquiries from Lil Wayne’s team questioning her resignation status, to which she clearly stated that she had not quit.

After resolving family issues and attempting to return to work, she learned she had been terminated, reportedly receiving a message from the rapper saying, “Tell Chef Morghan this isn’t going to work.”

Medlock asserted that her dismissal was in violation of California labor laws, which protect employees from termination when they miss work to care for an ill or injured child. She sought $500,000 in damages.

Ultimately, Lil Wayne and Medlock settled their differences by March 2024, with Medlock submitting court documentation to confirm the settlement. The specifics of their agreement remain undisclosed.

According to TMZ Hip Hop, LeahAngelie Murphy—a private chef and influencer hailing from Los Angeles—began her tenure with Lil Wayne sometime in 2023 and their romantic involvement followed shortly thereafter. She has since been seen accompanying him on various tours, including the Welcome to Tha Carter tour held in May.

On May 15, 2023, Murphy took to Instagram to celebrate her debut tour experience, describing it as “one of the hardest things (she had) done as a private chef.”Sources reveal she was also present at Lil Wayne’s recent concert in Columbus, Ohio.

LeahAngelie appeared to commemorate her 35th birthday with Weezy, but neither Lil Wayne nor LeahAngelie Murphy has publicly confirmed their relationship status.
