West
African
model
Nanga
Awasum's
life
probably
would
never
be
the
same
again,
all
thanks
to
supermodel
Gigi
Hadid.
Gigi
had
recently
taken
to
her
social
media
handle
to
share
a
picture
of
Nanga
who
was
on
her
way
to
work
while
the
picture
was
taken.
Even
though
her
back
was
turned
towards
Hadid's
camera,
Nanga
was
surely
more
than
elated
on
knowing
that
she
made
it
to
the
supermodel's
social
media
feed.
Nanga
Awasum
took
to
her
social
media
account
to
express
her
delight
on
the
same.
She
shared
a
screenshot
of
her
picture
on
Gigi
Hadid's
Instagram
story.
The
supermodel
had
shared
a
picture
of
Nanga
walking
down
the
street
and
had
captioned
it
stating,
"Shoutout
to
my
NYC
inspiration
of
the
day:
This
Queen."
Gigi
had
further
mentioned
in
the
caption
that
even
though
she
could
not
get
a
picture
of
Awasum's
front
but
called
her
'Major.'
Nanga
shared
a
picture
of
her
front
side
wearing
the
same
dress
that
she
had
on
in
Gigi
Hadid's
Instagram
story.
The
attire
included
a
yellow
full-sleeved
crop
top
with
blue
jeans.
She
captioned
the
same
stating,
"It's
the
way
@GiGiHadid
would
have
changed
my
entire
life
if
I
was
only
facing
the
right
way." Take
a
look
at
the
post.
Gigi
Hadid
was
quick
to
given
an
endearing
reply
to
Awasum's
tweet.
Quoting
the
tweet,
she
stated,
"You
were
facing
the
right
way
exactly
where
you
were
headed.
Sunshine!
Sending
big
love
Nanga." Take
a
look
at
the
tweet.

Speaking
to
E!News,
Nanga
Awasum
said
that
she
was
getting
late
for
her
shoot
so
she
had
hurriedly
put
the
attire
on
even
though
she
was
not
very
satisfied
with
it.
The
model
added
that
had
stopped
in
a
store
to
buy
new
clothes
but
she
was
told
by
people
there
that
she
just
got
featured
in
Gigi
Hadid's
Instagram
story.
Nanga
went
on
to
say
that
she
went
blank
for
some
time
as
she
could
not
process
the
same.
The
model
spoke
about
her
struggles
wherein
she
revealed
that
she
was
turned
down
by
many
agencies
and
some
people
also
called
her
ugly.
