Rapper and social media sensation Dank Demoss is speaking out after going viral for an alleged weight discrimination incident involving a Lyft driver. While some people showed support, others had a lot to say about her decision to file a lawsuit. Now, she’s clapping back at the critics.
On a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, Dank Demoss, whose real name is Dajua Blanding, broke down what happened and why she felt the need to take legal action. If you missed the viral moment, here’s a quick recap.
Dank Demoss Calls Out Lyft for Weight Discrimination
As previously reported, Demoss documented her experience in a now-viral video after calling a Lyft to take her to a Detroit Lions watch party. However, the driver allegedly refused to take her, stating that his tires couldn’t handle her weight. He apologized and suggested she request an Uber XL instead—a larger vehicle meant for more passengers. He also assured her that she wouldn’t be charged for the ride.
But for Demoss, that explanation wasn’t good enough. She stated that she has been in the same model car before without any issues, arguing that the refusal was purely discriminatory. Following the incident, she retained attorneys Jonathan Marko and Zach Runyan to sue Lyft for discrimination.
Dank Demoss Addresses Online Critics
Since filing the lawsuit, Demoss has faced mixed reactions from the public. While some fans support her for standing up against weight discrimination, others have criticized her for not simply requesting a bigger vehicle.
On “The Breakfast Club”, Demoss set the record straight about why she didn’t feel the need to request an XL ride. She told the hosts:
“I don’t have a big person mindset, I’m skinny in my head.”
She went on to explain that size-based discrimination happens more often than people think, and she wants to ensure no one else has to go through the same treatment.
Lyft’s Response to the Allegations
Following the controversy, Lyft issued a public statement denying any form of discrimination, saying:
“Lyft unequivocally condemns all forms of discrimination—we believe in a community where everyone is treated with equal respect and mutual kindness. Our community guidelines and terms of service explicitly prohibit harassment or discrimination.”
While Lyft states that their drivers can refuse passengers for safety concerns, legal experts argue that denying service based on weight could potentially violate anti-discrimination laws. Marko, Demoss’ attorney, emphasized that individuals cannot be turned away based on protected characteristics.

Greetings, I do not know who may need this but I am sure someone may find help like I did through the help of Dr Ajayi. I have a boyfriend who I have dated for 5 years. He just woke up one morning and told me the relationship was over. I was in tears for a months. I was so confused and heartbroken. I sent my sister and my best friend Jana to plead on my behalf, but he insisted the relationship was over and that he was tired of me. Until a very good day when I heard of Dr Ajayi, I read some testimonies on his site so I decided to give it a try. I contacted him and he told me things that needed to be done for him to cast a spell, at first I was contemplating if I should do it, I made up my mind to give it a try. I did what Dr Ajayi the spell caster told me to do, then not up to 7 days apart out of nowhere my boyfriend who left me without any reason came to my house one evening and was begging to have me back, he even came with his brother and pleaded for forgiveness. After so much pain I passed, my boyfriend still came back. I’m so happy, all thanks to Dr Ajayi. You can contact him for any kind of spell work. I believe that he will see you through your RELATIONSHIP problems.
