500-pound rapper suing Lyft over ride denial asks for couch over chair at ‘Breakfast Club’ interview: ‘This is accommodation’
The 500-pound rapper who is suing Lyft after she allegedly was denied a ride due ♎to her weight requested a couch instead of the chair that had been provided when she sat down for an interview with “The Breakfast Club” radio show.
Dank Demoss, who’s described herself as “obese” and a BBW — “big beautiful woman” — walked into the New York City studio and sat down in a wheeled office chair 𓂃before the interview started and she immediately looked unc♔omfortable and let the crew know it.
“This the only seat y’all got?” Demos🍃s, who also goes by Dajua Blanding, asks earnestly༒.
Host Charlamagne tha God and others then pulled a cou♈ch over for the Detroit native, who donned a one-piece with a cutout in the front and an orange jacket to the interview.
“This is what I’m talking about. Good. This is accommodation,” she said appreciatively w♌hile sitting down.
Demoss, who has previously said that she wܫeighs some 489 lbs., went viral last month af🍃ter she posted a video on social media showing a Lyft driver pull up in his Mercedes-Benz sedan and immediately lock his doors.
“I can fit in this car,” she assured him.
“Believe me, you can’t,” the driver, who s💎aid his name was Ibrahim, fired back, canceli🌜ng her ride.
While discussing꧅ the incident on “The Breakfast Club,” she explained that she’s had to adapt in many situations due to her weight — but doesn’t understand when people are unwilling to help accommodate her.
She was asked why shoul🐷d people have to accommodate her and simply retorted “Why not?”
“Bigger people should be accommodated just like we 𒅌accommodatཧe the LGBT community,” Demoss added.
She hit Lyft with a lawsuit last month.
A Lyft spokesperson told The Post that the company couldn’t comment on specific incidents caught up in litigation but th🍃ey 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 spoke�🐈�sperson said.
