Rapper and social media influencer Dank Demoss has taken matters into her own hands. The 220kg social media personality was refused a ride by a Lyft driver because of her size. To disprove that argument, Demoss videoed herself within a comparable-sized car. A now-viral clip now illustrates her confidently boarding a compact car. She is doubling down on her lawsuit against Lyft, refusing to let go of her attempt to prove that she was unjustly denied service. The battle in court continues, and the case has created a heated discussion regarding body inclusivity, individual responsibility, and justice in ride-hailing. But the internet is split down the middle—some are on Demoss’ side in standing up against body discrimination, while others believe that the driver was entitled to make a judgment about his own car. The driver’s actions have been denounced by Lyft as \”unacceptable\” and vowed an in-house inquiry. The video has gone viral on social media, sparking a sea of responses online.
