How have the netizens reacted to Dank Demoss’s latest video?

A video that has gone viral that shows rapper Dank Demoss getting inside an SUV has sparked mixed reactions from social media users. Some praised her confidence while others questioned whether the video effectively addressed the broader issues surrounding ride-sharing services and their policies.

“Smart move using that video as evidence!” One user wrote.

“Wow, talk about a unique way to make a point! Dank Demoss is definitely bringing some unexpected flair to her lawsuit. What do you think of her approach?” Another person said.

“She will win her case. While I agree with many of the comments, mainly she needs to take accountability.” One user said.

A few users sided with Lyft and the riding policies stating that the driver has the right to refuse the ride if he thinks the rider could cause damage to the vehicle.

“@lyft will probably cave and pay her but this really is worth fighting. Vehicles are not designed to carry 600# in one seat and the driver has the right to refuse service if he thinks it will damage his property.” A user said.

“The SUV after a few minutes of driving.” A user joked.

“The car she just got in is a little bigger than the guys car. That looks like a small SUV which would have better shocks and struts than his. His is lower to the ground and the car she got in is leaning bad. That could have damaged his car” One person commented.

What did the lawsuit filed by Dank Demoss say?

In her lawsuit, Blanding claimed that the incident which reportedly occurred on January 18, 2025, violated Michigan's anti-discrimination laws which include weight as a protected characteristic.

According to her attorney, Jon Marko,

“Under the law, refusing someone transportation due to their weight is no different than refusing someone transportation based on their race or religion.”

Her attorney added,

“Discrimination of any kind should never be tolerated in our society.”

The rapper who weighs 489 pounds reportedly ordered a ride from Lyft from her home in Detroit to a football watch party at her cousin’s house on January 18. When the lift driver arrived, he refused to let her in, locked the doors, and drove away, the complaint stated, according to The Detroit News.

Dajua Blanding who is also known as Dank Demoss is a rapper from Detroit, Michigan. Let You Go, I Miss You, Just Talkin, and Rounds are some of her famous tracks, as indicated in Apple Music. Her Instagram account mentioned that she is the CEO of Foe Sho Doe Records, a Detroit-based company.
