Plus-size rapper settles lawsuit with taxi company after driver refused to take her due her size
A plus-size rapper has settled a lawsuit with taxi giant Lyft after one of their drivers refused to take her because of her size.
Detroit rapper Dank Demoss, whose real name is Dajua Blanding, filed a discrimination lawsuit in January after being told by a Lyft driver she was too big for his car and could 'burst his tyres'.
Blanding said in a past social media post she weighed over 500lbs, and previously shared in December that she was intending to lose weight and had lost over 40lbs.
Blanding, who filmed a video of the incident, told him 'I can fit in this car', to which he said: 'Believe me, you can't'.
Plus Size Woman Wins Settlement After Lyft Driver Told Her She Wouldn't Fit in His Car — How Much Did She Get?
A Detroit-based rapper has secured a legal settlement against Lyft after suing the ride-hailing company for discrimination when one of its drivers told her she was 'too big' to fit inside his vehicle.
The case, brought under Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, marks a high-profile test of laws protecting individuals from weight-based discrimination, a safeguard that remains rare across the United States.
Dank Demoss, whose real name is Dajua Blanding, recorded an encounter in which a Lyft driver refused to accept her as a passenger. In the footage, the driver insisted she would not fit and suggested she book an Uber XL instead, adding that he would cancel and refund her Lyft fare. He responded, 'Believe me, you can't,' followed by an apology.
