Lizzo’s latest business venture has led her to the billion-dollar fitness industry.

Peleton, the in-home exercising equipment that hosts virtual classes for users, is now in big legal trouble. National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA) members are suing the company for using artists’ music without permission. If Peloton loses the case, the company could be out of $150 million. “It is frankly unimaginable that a company of this size and sophistication would think it could exploit music in this way without the proper licenses for this long, and we look forward to getting music creators what they deserve,” NMPA President & CEO David Israelite said in a press release.

Peloton gained popularity as it used video workouts...
