A Detroit rapper is now suing Lyft after she was refused a ride due to the driver’s seat that she wouldn’t fit into his vehicle due to that fact she is extremely obese.
A few weeks ago, rapper Dank Demoss – whose real name is Dajua Blanding – requested a ride from the ride share company. When the driver arrived to her location, he saw how large she was and informed her that he would not be able to give her a ride.
NEW: 489 pound rapper Dank Demoss has launched a lawsuit against Lyft after one of their drivers denied her a ride because he said she wouldn’t fit in his car.
The driver was apparently worried that his car wouldn’t be able to handle her weight.

“My car is too small,” he is heard saying in the video footage that was recorded by Blanding. She shot back, “I can fit in this car.”
The driver then informed her that he would be cancelling the ride at no charge. “You need to order a bigger car,” he told her.
She asked, “What makes you think I can’t fit in this car?” to which he explained that he has “been in this situation before” and suggested that his tires could not handle her weight.
Clearly upset, Blanding posted to social media: “IF ION STAND FOR SOMETHING ILL FALL FOR ANYTHING.”
