It’s fair to say that Rihanna has always been incredibly inclusive when it comes to her Fenty beauty range and Savage x Fenty clothing line.

And the same can definitely be said for Savage x Fenty, which the star launched with the promise that she will never let down the people who have felt excluded by lingerie brands in the past.

“I have a unique opportunity to change things,” Rihanna said of her collection at the time.

She added to Entertainment Tonight: “We can not neglect those consumers. That consumer is one that’s been neglected before and I’m not gonna let that happen here.”

In her efforts to include everybody, Rihanna uses models aged 18-60 with different body shapes and different gender identities to showcase her collections.
Speaking to AP about her vision for Fenty in the past, she said: “Inclusivity is part of the brand, always. We don’t believe in division. We do not believe in excluding anyone.”

And while Rihanna’s efforts have always been widely praised, people couldn’t help but gently roast the star when a clip of her discussing her gender-inclusive boxer briefs recently resurfaced online.

In fact, Rihanna has been accused of “trying so hard not to get cancelled [sic]” in the 2020 clip, which was filmed at her Savage x Fenty Show Vol. 2 in October 2020.

“Everyone is included,” Rihanna concludes. “I didn’t want this to be a ‘boxers are for men’ type situation.”
The clip was recently reposted to TikTok, where it has been liked over a million times. In the comment sections, fans have poked fun at Rihanna for the ramble while acknowledging that her heart was in the right place.
“she a lil confused but she got the spirit,” one person commented. Another wrote: “she said y’all not gonna get me cancelled [sic] today 😭”
