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

A Michigan rapper is taking legal action against Lyft after claiming a driver refused to pick her up, allegedly fearing she was too heavy for his car to handle.

Dajua Blanding, 36, who performs under the name Dank Demoss, captured the encounter on video earlier this month. The footage shows her arguing with the driver, insisting she could fit in his vehicle, while he repeatedly pushed back.

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

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

The driver ultimately canceled the ride, assuring Blanding she wouldn’t be charged. However, she has since filed a lawsuit against the rideshare company, claiming the incident left her feeling humiliated and discriminated against.

“I’ve been in cars smaller than that,” she said in an interview. “I just want them to know that it hurt my feelings.”

After posting the video to Instagram, reactions poured in—with many siding with the driver. Some suggested she should have opted for a larger vehicle, such as a Lyft XL, which is meant to accommodate more space.
