Lizzo is questioning Victoria's Secret after the iconic brand announced the return of its fashion show following a four-year hiatus.The «Special» singer took to Twitter following the news to share her opinion and question whether or not the brand was only making the return because of the backlash they've received in the past for not featuring diverse and size-inclusive models on their runway.«This is a win for inclusivity for inclusivity’s sake,» Lizzo, who has her own inclusive shapewear line, Yitty, tweeted alongside a recent campaign video from the brand. «But if brands start doing this only because they’ve received backlash then what happens when the 'trends' change again?»«Do the CEOs of these companies value true inclusivity?

Or do they just value money?» she added, wondering if VS' push for a «new version» of their beloved show is more of a money grab or a true sign that the company has changed.This is a win for inclusivity for inclusivity’s sake But if brands start doing this only because they’ve received backlash then what happens when the ‘trends’ change again?
