Fat rapper who calls herself a ‘BBW’ sues Lyft after driver said she couldn’t fit in his car







A plus-sized rapper who describes herself as a BBW — aka “big beautiful woman” — is suing Lyft after one of the company’s drivers allegedly told her she was too large to ride in his car.

Dank Demoss, who has previously disclosed that she weighs nearly 489 lbs., claims the rejection unfolded earlier this month in Detroit when the Lyft driver rolled up in his Mercedes-Benz sedan and immediately locked his doors.

“I can fit in this car,” the rapper, who also goes by Dajua Blanding, could be heard saying in a video she posted on social media on Jan. 19.

“Believe me, you can’t,” the driver shot back — adding later there was no room in the back and that his tires wouldn’t be able to handle the weight.

The driver, who identified himself as Ibrahim in the now-viral clip, was filmed apologizing to Demoss, but maintaining that he was canceling the ride and telling her she should order an XL vehicle.

“I’ve been in this situation before,” the driver said, before Demoss responded, “So every big person, you turn down because they can’t fit in your car?”

Demoss, who describes herself on Instagram as a “PAID PHAT QUEEN” and declared in one post last year that she weighed 554 pounds, slapped Lyft with the lawsuit this week. She later updated fans that she weighs 489 lbs.

“I’ve been in cars smaller than that,” she told FOX2 after the suit was filed. “I just want them to know that it hurt my feelings.”

Meanwhile, her video of the exchange had racked up more than 340,000 views on TikTok as of Tuesday.

A Lyft spokesperson told The Post that the company couldn’t comment on specific incidents caught up in litigation but they condemned discrimination.

“Lyft unequivocally condemns all forms of discrimination — we believe in a community where everyone is treated with equal respect and mutual kindness,” the spokesperson said.

“Our community guidelines and terms of service explicitly prohibit harassment or discrimination.”

I was actually "mesupik" if I should post it so I asked my "aishas chayil" to pasken, she asked "Vus iz Dus? She "bechlall" wasn't sure what I was showing her, so if she didn't know that this was a "ne'keivah" I decided that that it wasn't an issue of "tzneeis" at all!

Jerrold, I have to warn you letoyeles that Margo was very upset when he had a date night out with her at Olympic Pita. She ran the bill up to the sky by sampling everything on the menu. Then when the shlemazal's credit card was declined, hot er gechappt a pachad that they were going to force him to wash the dishes to pay for all her fressing. He's lucky that Sol Werdiger just happened to be passing by & convinced them to issue an IOU that he personally vouched for!
