American rapper Dajua Blanding also known as Dank DeMoss is trending on social media over her decision to sue ride-hailing company Lyft for what she tagged weight discrimination.
This was after a driver of the ride-hailing company refused her service, citing her size.
“I was hurt and embarrassed. I have been in that same type of car many times and never had an issue. This was someone who was discriminating against me just because of my weight,” DeMoss told CBS News.
The plus-size Detroit rapper’s lawyers said the driver violated Michigan’s anti-discrimination laws, which include weight as a protected characteristic.
Meanwhile, Lyft in a reaction maintained that it does not condone any form of discrimination.
The company stated that its “community guidelines and terms of service explicitly prohibit harassment or discrimination.”
