Female rapper Dank Demoss, who weighs 221.8kg, has filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Lyft after a driver refused to transport her, claiming she was "too big" to fit in the car. The incident occurred after the rapper had requested a standard vehicle but was turned away by the driver. The driver allegedly stated that the backseat wouldn’t fit her and that the tires were too small to support her weight. Following the incident, Lyft issued an apology, but Demoss has since decided to take legal action, seeking emotional damages for the distress caused.
Social media reactions to the situation have been mixed, with some users expressing support for the rapper, while others criticized her for taking legal action over the issue. A few commenters questioned the necessity of the lawsuit, suggesting that Demoss could have used a larger vehicle option, such as an Uber XL, or that fitness and health should be considered in such situations. On the other hand, some criticized the Lyft driver for refusing service and saw it as a case of discrimination based on body size.
