Lil Wayne reached a settlement with his former private chef, who sued him in 2022. According to Fox 11 Los Angeles, chef Morghan Medlock worked out a deal with her former employer on Tuesday (March 5).

Medlock’s attorney informed Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Kristin Escalante of the settlement on Thursday (March 7). Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Lil Wayne avoided trial by settling with Medlock out of court. A trial was scheduled for July 8.

Medlock filed her lawsuit in December 2022. She accused Lil Wayne of discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination.

The chef claimed Weezy fired her for leaving work to take care of her injured child, who was hospitalized with a head injury. Medlock’s son suffered the injury while she was with the rapper in Las Vegas for Memorial Day weekend 2022. The chef insisted she did everything possible to accommodate her boss despite her need to return to Los Angeles to be with her son.

“Though she was well aware of her job tasks and schedule and anticipated return date to Los Angeles, Ms. Medlock made her best efforts to coordinate her return to Los Angeles in conjunction with her job tasks and [Lil Wayne’s] scheduled return to Los Angeles, which would have allowed her to then go directly to care for her son,” her lawsuit contended.

Medlock booked a separate flight to get back to her son. Lil Wayne’s assistant asked Medlock if she was quitting, which she denied. The chef thought his team would understand her situation, but she got fired days later.

“Tell Chef Morghan this isn’t going to work,” Lil Wayne’s assistant told her, relaying a message from the diamond-selling artist.

Lil Wayne denied any wrongdoing. His lawyers said Medlock was fired for “legitimate, good faith, justified, nondiscriminatory and/or non-retaliatory business reasons.”

Video of Lil Wayne’s confrontation with security at a Los Angeles Lakers game emerged on Friday (March 1). The clip showed event staff preventing him from going to his courtside seats while the Lakers played the Washington Wizards at the Crypto.com Arena on Thursday night (February 29).

Lil Wayne condemned the Lakers for his mistreatment on social media. He assumed the issues stemmed from his past criticism of Lakers star Anthony Davis.

“Wow!” Weezy wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “Got treated like s### at the Laker game just now but I figured they’d do me that sooner or later either bc of what i said abt AD or simply bc they don’t fwm which I been got that vibe from em as well so all good I get it. F### em. It isn’t what it isn’t. I’m used to it.”

Lil Wayne discussed the Lakers game incident during an appearance on Fox Sports 1’s Undisputed. The diamond-selling rapper claimed he only attended the game at the behest of a brand he’s promoting.

“I didn’t want to go to that game,” he told host Skip Bayless. “I was asked to be at that game. It was to promote the wardrobe I had on, which was also in cahoots with the NBA or whatever … I was asked to be there. That’s why I was like, ‘Wow.’ I didn’t expect the security guy to know I was asked to be there to promote something. But I would’ve rathered a smoother entrance.”

Lil Wayne stood by his social media comments on Undisputed. He thought his opinion of Davis caused problems at the arena.

“When I tweeted that, that was obviously raw emotions,” the former Cash Money Records artist said. “But there’s truth. I mean it’s all facts behind my beliefs and behind that opinion. I did believe that I felt like there was something about the whole A.D. thing that was kinda like, ‘We don’t need this guy.’”

Lil Wayne previously said the Lakers would not win another NBA championship unless they got rid of Davis. He made the remarks on a 2023 episode of Undisputed.

French Montana has finally dropped the fifth installment of his long-running mixtape series Mac & Cheese 5, nearly 15 years after birthing the original edition. 

The “Unforgettable” hitmaker was initially set to drop last month (January 5), but French announced a delay in December while revealing a Lil Baby feature. He teased several other heavyweight guest appearances before dropping at midnight on Friday (February 23). 

Mac & Cheese 5 includes a slew of artists, including two appearances from both Lil Wayne and Kanye West. The 21-track tape clocks in at exactly 60 minutes and also features Lil Durk, Meek Mil, JID, Westside Gunn, SAINt JHN, Buju Banton, Bryson Tiller and many more.  

However, French Montana raised eyebrows by releasing six versions of Mac & Cheese. Alongside the original, fans can also listen to the acapella, sped-up, slowed-down, instrumental and the “Versions” variants, the latter of which is a compilation of the other five tapes and features 126 songs.  

French Montana was trending on X (formerly Twitter) as fans shared their thoughts about dropping six versions of the same album. Check out some of the reactions below and stream Mac & Cheese 5 below. 

“French Montana needs to be stopped,” a fan wrote alongside a screen recording showing dozens of tracks on the “Versions” Mac & Cheese tape. 

Another fan shared a similar video, adding, “French Montana on everything I love u will be dealt with bro.” 

“French Montana has released around 20,000 new versions of the songs from his new album Mac & Cheese 5,” one fan joked. “Kanye has so many French Montana songs on his page.”
