Detroit rapper Dank Demoss is going viral after she posted a video where a Lyft driver allegedly refused her a ride due to her size. In the now-viral clip, the driver reportedly told Demoss that he had “very tired tires.”
While the rapper claimed the incident as an example of discrimination against BBW women, many on social media are questioning her motives. The Lyft app clearly offers an XXL option for larger vehicles, leading users to wonder why Demoss didn’t choose a more spacious ride.
Rumor has it that the rapper intentionally booked a smaller vehicle to stir controversy and boost her name in the headlines.
The strategy appears to be working, as her name has been circulating online, and some social media users are on Dank’s side. Others, however, sided with the Lyft driver, pointing out that drivers use their personal vehicles and have the right to decline rides if they feel their car may be damaged.
Whether this was a genuine grievance or a calculated clout-chasing move, Dank Demoss has successfully ignited a social media fire storm of everyone having something to say about it.She also clapped back at those criticizing her, asserting that the video wasn’t posted for clout but to highlight how women her size are treated.
“I AM THE F*****G CLOUT, I BEEN DOING THIS SHIT A LONG TIME,” DANK SAID. “I POSTED THIS VIDEO BECAUSE Y’ALL GOT US FUCKED UP…Y’ALL ALWAYS TRYING TO PUT BIG PEOPLE IN A CATEGORY.”
