She shares details about her life, particularly her passion for fashion, on her social media accounts.
She made a shirt out of a skirt in one video and wore it with her Prada purse.
Dajua encouraged supporters to disregard those who disagree with her, saying that she believes it is acceptable to re-wear clothing.
The celebrity also posts movies with her nephew, showing him how to tie a manbun in one cute video.
An incident with Lyft
When Dajua declared her plan to sue the taxi business Lyft in January 2025, it made news.
She says she would shatter a driver’s tires, so he wouldn’t pick her up.
Dajua is heard saying, “I can fit in this car,” on a video taken during the incident.
In response, the driver tells her, “Believe me, you can’t.”
Despite the driver’s offer to reimburse her for the money she had paid in advance for the trip, Dajua chose to sue the taxi service.
“I’ve been in cars smaller than that,” the rapper stated during an appearance on Fox 2.
“I just want them to know that it hurt my feelings.”
The feud heats up
Attorneys in DajuaGiven that weight is a protected characteristic in Detroit, Jonathan Marko and Zach Runyan have argued that the incident amounted to discrimination.
“Refusing someone transportation based on their race or religion” is similar to that, they argued.
Mr. Runyan went on to say: “It is not only against the law but also risky to refuse someone transportation because of their weight.
“Consider what would happen if Ms. Blanding couldn’t find a place to stay after the driver abandoned her.
“This could have ended even worse than it did.”
Lyft addressed the widely shared footage of Dajua and the driver in a public statement.
