BenDaDonnn said he used a friend’s Uber account

During the streaming session from his car, BenDaDonnn revealed that it was not his Uber, but he was using his friend’s account to pick people up. He said:

“So I'm just using his account to pick up people. I don't know if this is wrong or he can get in trouble or nothing. So, I'm not going to display his account so he don't get in trouble.”

One of them even suggested that Ben attend a school and learn English. He then tried to initiate a conversation with them, asking if they listened to the singer whose music was playing in the car. The passenger said:

“Don't listen to that. But my head somewhere else right now, bro. I'm not I'm not in your word right now, bro.”

After that, they seemed to have some disagreement with their present location, and one of the passengers suggested that they should cancel the ride. However, BenDaDonnn told them that they should not disrespect him. After driving for a while, Ben stopped the car in the middle of the road, after which the altercation happened.
