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."

A little bitterness at seeing people getting it easy when you worked all your life for the same thing. Quite normal.

InstaHoes u mean?..............................#KingOfKings #6God

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.

Unknown said...

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

To be fair, some people would see being a supermodel as not a lot of hard work for the money they make so it goes both ways. Live and let live

It's all the same fame whether in the wrong or right way...

Unknown said...

Easy come Easy go, I like that. It's your hard work that will leave behind a legacy not just the fine face, the bum bum and bleached out skins.

These days all you need to do is just to be posting cleavage, ass and twerking videos on instagram and you will become popular

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.

Perfect way to put it..being famous comes cheap these days indeed

Unknown said...

Sure faggot! U got famous for a minute! But just here.....

Anonymous said...

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...

Unknown said...

She spoke the truth.

Akinfulubi Daniel said...

'easy come, easy go' She said it all.

Fake Popularity.
Even Musicians do this. More reason while only few lasted in the decades to come.

come easy.. go easy.. well said

Truth is better...she is so beautiful!

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

Liddy said...

LMAOOO @ bull dog face sister! Hahahahahahahaaaa right on!!!!

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

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.
