Plus-size influencer Dank Demoss fires back after Lyft Denies ride, proves she can fit in 'Small Car' | WATCH

Viral News: Plus-size influencer and music artist Dajua Blanding, better known by her stage name Dank Demoss, has become the center of a viral debate after sharing a video of herself climbing into a vehicle, weeks after being denied a ride by a Lyft driver. The incident, which unfolded when Demoss was refused entry into a cab on the grounds of her size, sparked outrage and led to a lawsuit against the popular ride-hailing service. The confrontation between Demoss and the Lyft driver gained widespread attention when the rapper uploaded footage of the encounter, with many users divided on who was in the right. As the issue gained momentum online, Demoss shared another video aimed at proving her case, further intensifying the debate.

The Lyft incident

In the initial incident, Demoss claimed that the Lyft driver repeatedly told her he could not accommodate her due to her weight. The driver argued that his vehicle was too small, stating, “I’m sorry. I got no space at all, my car is small.” Despite Demoss’s assurances that she could fit into the car, the driver refused to allow her to enter. The refusal was based on the driver’s claims that the vehicle’s tires could not handle her weight. Demoss, however, was determined to challenge the denial. In a new video, she visited a car dealership in Michigan, climbed into a “small car,” and even drove it away to demonstrate that she could fit comfortably. With this proof in hand, Demoss plans to use the footage as evidence in her ongoing lawsuit against Lyft.

Social media backlash and divide

Following the release of Demoss’s video, social media was ablaze with comments, with opinions divided on the issue. While many rallied behind Demoss, condemning the driver’s actions as discriminatory, others expressed support for the driver. Some users even claimed that Demoss was responsible for getting the driver fired, alleging that her viral video had been an overreaction. In response to the incident, Lyft issued a statement calling the driver’s behavior “unacceptable” and confirmed that an investigation would take place. However, the debate continues to divide the internet, with both sides presenting strong arguments.

Legal action and plans

Dank Demoss’s lawsuit against Lyft continues to move forward, with her viral videos now serving as crucial pieces of evidence. As the case progresses, it remains to be seen how the company will address the incident and what legal implications it may have for the ride-hailing industry.
