In January 2025, Detroit rapper Dank Demoss (real name Dajua Blanding) hailed a Lyft. When the driver arrived, he locked the doors and told her she wouldn’t fit in his car, suggesting she order a larger vehicle instead. He also expressed concern that his tires couldn’t handle her weight. Feeling discriminated against, Dank Demoss filed a lawsuit against Lyft, alleging emotional distress and humiliation. Lyft responded by condemning all forms of discrimination and reaffirming their commitment to equality and mutual respect. Here’s the social media backlash via memes.

They be hatin’.
I dunno how it stands in the US, but here in the UK any shop, pub, or uber can refuse to give service if they think it will be unsafe, or unprofitable. They can’t be forced to sell you anything or take you anywhere.
If you order a Lyft and tried to take a piano onboard, he’d be right to refuse – it wouldn’t fit safely in the vehicle, and it would endanger the car as well.
Since her size precludes the use of normal seatbelts, allowing her to use the car would put her at risk, and unsecured would put him at risk as well.
I support the driver, not the money hungry idiot …
She’s a celebrity that no one has heard of before. Except that the movie studios used the sound of her walking when they make a movie about a T-rex coming.
Trump executive order no. 212… Bring back fat shaming.
And I’m a effin leftie… and I’m fed up wit this PCness…
Wow… Obese people are still people. No need to dehumanize them, over a silly lawsuit. What if it were your grandmother?
….is a grandmother. And she would give that morbidly obese young lady a grandmotherly, serious, and very frank talk about why she has eaten herself into this deadly condition. There is nothing but pain, suffering, amputations, heart failure and an early death in her future.
There is a way out of it. Been there – done that. Lost 20% and she can do it, too.
For her it’s not really an insult, it’s an opportunity. How many people know her name now?
She should have ordered a larger vehicle, something she knew she’d fit in.
But, wow. People are really mean.
…but this is clearly fishing for popularity only. Who tf knows that woman? She has low 4-digit clicks on Spotify (ok, now a few more, I was curious, clickbait worked) and makes not even acceptable music 😝
