Female rapper sues ride-hailing company after rider said she couldn’t fit in his car and canceled her trip
A plus-sized rapper who describes herself as a BBW — aka “big beautiful woman” — is suing Lyft after one of the company’s drivers allegedly told her she was too large to ride in his car.
Dank Demoss, who has previously disclosed that she weighs nearly 489 lbs., claims the rejection unfolded earlier this month in Detroit when the Lyft driver rolled up in his Mercedes-Benz sedan and immediately locked his doors.
“I can fit in this car,” the rapper, who also goes by Dajua Blanding, could be heard saying in a videoshe posted on social media on Jan. 19.
