Naomi Campbell has some thoughts on people who got famous on Instagram

Quite a number of people have become quite famous via social media, with no talent, no skill, not even a sex tape...:-). In the olden days, it took a lot for you to be famous, to be called a supermodel. You must put a lot of hard work and years in the business, then there's talent, beauty and personality. But not these days, not with the advent of social media. All you need is a lot of following and you're one of the 'Instagirls' - a term addressed on the September issue of Vogue starring 9 supermodels with millions of followers. Speaking about the new phenomenon on the The Meredith Viera Show this week, Naomi Campbell, who's been in the business for nearly 30 years, said;
"It's amazing. I mean, good luck to them. I just feel my generation of women, like Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer, we had to earn our stripes and take our stepping stones to get to where we have gotten, to accomplish what we have achieved to this date. I kind of feel like, 'My God, we've worked so hard and we are still working at it, then it just comes like that for them.' But I sometimes believe easy come, easy go. So I am actually grateful for the way I had my career. I wouldn't want it any other way."

    1. Hmm. Forget it joor. I'm sure she had sometimes wished she had it the later way. Who doesn't like an easy achievement with loads of money.

    2. She sounds like a sore jealous loser. Don't be envious. The sky is wide enough for every bird. Fly ur own nne, and let them fly too. Shikena

    1. I'd like to know as well. She shouldn't be the one complaining, because being beautiful and taking good pictures should not be considered a skill or talent. People worry about the wrong things these days...

  40. Why is she worrying her head over the matter, instagram fame is short lived and i don't think instagram pays out money to people with millions of followers. So she should relax, she is famous now and will still be even posthumously. She is also very rich. Live and let live.

  41. Naomi campbell...still looking fab notwithstanding her age....famous with talent and so much respect......anyway....auntie linda one day you and kim K go fight o.....lol

  76. Abegggiii... That is such a bitchy statement from a self absorbed fame monster who feels that she is losing out on new trends and is no longer popping like she used to..

    Let me give her a proverb, "Everything for this life na turn by turn"

    Aunty your time don go, go and marry

    ReplyDelete
  77. Aunty naomi is envious of kendall. I bet she is referring to kendall jenner. Aunty, she is in her own lane, why not face ur own lane? You sound like a loser. Try pretending u dont notice others and face ur own modelling career, okay.
