American rapper Dajua Blanding, known as Dank DeMoss, is suing a ride-hailing company for weight discrimination after a driver refused her service, citing her size.
Blanding, who weighs 489 pounds, said she was humiliated by the incident, which she filmed and posted on TikTok.
Her lawyers argue that the driver violated Michigan’s anti-discrimination laws, which include weight as a protected characteristic.
In response, the ride-hailing company stated that it does not condone any form of discrimination and that its community guidelines and terms of service explicitly prohibit harassment or discrimination.
