Lil Wayne’s unusual job requirements for his personal assistants – including being on call 24 hours a day, having good hygiene, and having to pre-roll marijuana cigarettes – have been revealed as part of a bitter legal battle.
The Daily Mail has obtained court records that reveal Wayne (real name Dwayne Carter) is being sued by former assistant Andrew Williams, who claims the rapper assaulted him on a private jet back in 2022.
Williams’ job description is being used by lawyers in the legal fight, giving fans of the musician a rare insight into his demands for his employees.
Though some of the requirements are rather common of those expected for a celebrity assistant – including being required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and staying ‘discreet’ when it comes to personal matters – there were also other out-of-the-ordinary demands.
The documents state that the assistant should pack Wayne’s bags for trips, keep his days running smoothly and travel with him at all times.
They should be ‘self-motivated’ with a ‘positive attitude’, and be happy to be around children and dogs.

Assistants are required to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and must be able to answer the phone at all hours.
They also need to be ‘mentally sound’, capable of working under pressure, and ‘must keep up with fast-paced lifestyle without engaging personally’.
In the more unusual requirements of his assistant, Wayne said they need to be ready at all times with pre-rolled joints, and restock when he runs out of his preferred wraps.
The assistant should also be strong enough to carry a bag, and have ‘pleasant personal hygiene’.
Williams is suing Wayne, claiming that the Lollipop star assaulted him on a private jet when he tried to intervene in a fight the rapper was having with the pilot – which he alleged ended up with Wayne punching him in the face with a closed fist.
The lawsuit reads: ‘The combination of a closed fist and the numerous rings and large jewelry on the hands of [Wayne] caused great harm to [Andrew].
‘As an actual and proximate result of [Wayne’s] assault and misconduct, [Andrew] has and continues to be damaged emotionally and physically, incurred general damages and special damages including incurring medical expenses, in amounts to be proven at trial.’
Wayne has denied all the allegations, and said that he was acting in self-defense.

The New Orleans based artist is considered one of the most influential hip-hop artists of his generation and one of the greatest rappers of all-time.
He has sold over 120 million records worldwide including over 20 million albums and 95 million digital tracks in the US which makes him one of the world’s best-selling music artists.
In September 2012, he became the first male artist to surpass Elvis Presley with the most entries in the Billboard Hot 100 with 109 songs.
Wayne’s work is also critically-acclaimed as he has earned five Grammy Awards, 11 BET Awards, four Billboard Music Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, and eight NAACP Image Awards.
Despite his career beginning in the mid-1990s, his influence spans to today as he founded the record label Young Money Entertainment in 2005 as it has discovered artists including Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tyga.
