Female Rapper Sues Lyft After Driver Refused To Pick Her Up For This Reason


A Michigan rapper is suing Lyft after a driver allegedly refused to pick her up, claiming she was too heavy for his car.

Dajua Blanding, 36, known as Dank Demoss, recorded the incident, showing her arguing with the driver, who insisted she couldn’t fit in his vehicle.

“I can fit in this car,” Blanding insisted.

“Believe me, you can’t,” the driver responded before canceling the ride.

Blanding has since filed a lawsuit against Lyft, stating she felt humiliated and discriminated against.

“I’ve been in smaller cars,” she said. “It hurt my feelings.”

After sharing the video on Instagram, opinions were split. Some sided with Blanding, while others defended the driver, arguing he was simply protecting his vehicle.

“It’s against the law to overload a car,” one commenter noted. “The driver was polite, explained his reasoning, and even apologized.”

Blanding remained firm, accusing Lyft of mistreating plus-sized riders. Her lawsuit claims the driver locked his doors upon seeing her and suggested her weight could damage his tires.

Her attorneys argue the refusal violated Michigan law, which protects against weight discrimination.

Lyft responded, stating it “condemns all forms of discrimination,” as the case sparks debate over passenger rights and driver discretion.
