US Rapper sues Lyft 'after driver refused to take her scared she'd burst his tires'

[Crimson Dynamo]

Rapper has sued Lyft after claiming a driver refused to pick her up over fears
she was too big to fit in his car and could 'burst his tires.'

Dank Demoss, 36, real name Dajua Blanding, filmed her interaction with the
Lyft driver earlier this month, showing her arguing back and forth over whether
she could fit into his vehicle.

'I can fit in this car', Demoss said.

'I've been in cars smaller than that,' she told Fox 2. 'I just want them to know
that it hurt my feelings.'

Get a Special Car/Truck
that can take that weight,
should be the way forward.

“Hurt my feelings”… typical response :joker:

It's simple, she needs to lose some weight.

Lyft shouldn't be entertaining her outlandish complaint.

I watched a YouTube reaction to this earlier on , the YouTuber was far too polite . This person is suffering from entitlement :idc: . The guy was in every right to refuse her , he's not a bus driver.

I knew someone whose car leaned to the side (bad suspension I think) because they regularly gave rides to someone who was way overweight who was unable to afford their own car. It was very expensive to repair and it ruined their friendship because the person was in total denial they were that heavy and so would not pay for the repairs.

Obviously not a nice conversation to have but the driver should be able to refuse any customer for any reason, it is his car after all

My thoughts as well, it is after all his livelihood

I mean, the clues in the name, fatty.

If she simply wouldn't fit that's one thing, realistically though the claim that she would "burst the tyres" or damage the suspension is nonsense, so long as she sat in the middle seat. Any car can comfortably have three full grown men in the back + luggage, her combined weight is (obviously) not going to be 700+ lbs which that combined weight could easily be.

Of course he won't have been genuinely worried about tyres blowing out, it'll just be a comment that was thrown in there.

the bum uplift is what makes me chuckle :laugh:

with 3 people the weight would be spread across the car, not centred on one section though :shrug:

It would be like the nutty professor when he went back to his original size in the sports car

That's why I said she'd have to sit in the middle of the back seat (exact same weight distribution as 3 people 1/3 her size sat in a row)

Plus her overhang on the front seat.

Imagine the state of her heart, trying to pump blood around that.

She is not fitting in the middle seat ...come on now ( those middle seats are usually for a smaller person & even a car seat ), it would be the most uncomfortable ride of her life,plus think of leg room and everything . So I'm perplexed as to why she was insisting on travelling in a regular/ smaller car.

She could have just ordered a bigger vehicle to accommodate her size or situation, people who use a wheelchair order people carrier's / vans all the time.
