Remi Bader
Credit - Slaven Vlasic—Getty Images Remi Bader thinks fashion should feel good. She rose to prominence on TikTok in 2021 with her viral 'realistic haul' videos, calling out popular clothing brands for their inconsistent and often exclusionary sizing. In the years since, the 30-year-old content creator has amassed 2.2 million followers on the platform, becoming a prominent voice in the movement for size inclusivity—all while refusing to be confined by expectations around body image or health. This year, Bader spoke openly about her struggles with binge eating, mental health challenges, her experience with weight loss medications and surgery, and the scrutiny she's faced as her appearance has changed. In June, she walked the runway at Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Runway Show in Miami and shared a message with her followers: "Last night, I simply just stood for every girl or woman who's felt lost about where she belongs, but still chooses to show up and put herself out there no matter what,' she wrote on Instagram. 'And for once, that was enough for me.' Data and insights powered by #paid Write to Mahita Gajanan at

Salt-N-Pepa Sue UMG Over Rights to Iconic Recordings
Source: Slaven Vlasic / Getty Salt-N-Pepa, the pioneering hip-hop duo consisting of Cheryl 'Salt' James and Sandra 'Pepa' Denton, have initiated legal action against Universal Music Group (UMG). Their goal? To regain control over their master recordings. The lawsuit invokes the Copyright Act of 1976. This act allows artists to terminate previous agreements and reclaim ownership of their recordings after a certain period. According to the lawsuit, James and Denton filed termination notices in 2022. They allege UMG has refused to honor their rights. They also claim that their music was removed from streaming platforms, hindering their ability to license work to other parties. The duo contends that UMG's actions have significantly harmed the value of their catalog and deprived fans of access to their music. UMG maintains that the recordings in question were 'works made for hire,' a classification that would prevent the artists from reclaiming rights under the Copyright Act. Salt-N-Pepa dispute this characterization, claiming their original contracts do not support UMG's claim. The lawsuit seeks fees that exceed $1 million. They also look for a permanent injunction affirming their ownership rights. This legal battle highlights ongoing tensions in the music industry, where legacy artists often confront challenges in regaining control over their work amid outdated contract terms. Salt-N-Pepa were the first female rap group to win a Grammy and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021. They are set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2025.
