Wiz Khalifa is fighting his former longtime employee in court over accusations he refused to pay him back for groceries.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, the rapper’s former assistant Jason Gonzalez is suing over alleged unpaid wages.
He claims to have been screwed out of overtime, was not provided proper meal breaks and was not reimbursement for expenses during his time working for Wiz.
In the suit, Gonzalez describes himself as a housekeeper and errand-runner for Wiz. He worked for him from February 2017 to January 29, 2019.
His duties included running errands, picking up prescriptions, dry cleaning and other necessities and luxuries on demand. He claims Wiz had him pay for all the groceries and other items out of pocket. Gonzalez says Wiz promised to reimburse him for the items and the mileage he put on his car at a later date.
In December 2018, the former employee says he demanded Wiz cough up the $9,151 he spent on out-of-pocket expenses and $1,765.15
