Model Adwoa Aboah just took a swipe at Kim Kardashian West in Winnie Harlow's Instagram comments.

Earlier this week, Kim Kardashian attended the 2018 Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards, where she was honoured with the very first Influencer Award. And while presenter Busy Philipps gave a detailed explanation of why Kardashian had walked away with the gong, some people were not thrilled about it. Specifically, Aboah.

Lets start this off from the very beginning. After Kardashian picked up the award, Aboah's fellow model Winnie Harlow took to Instagram to share a snap from the event, and gush over the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star in the caption. She wrote,

"One of the realist and most down to earth people in any industry I’ve ever been around, I always Love being around you. Thank you for being you. If anyone understands not initially being accepted in an industry you adore like I do, it’s you! And now the Influencer Award at the @cfda ‘s?!? No one can ever take that away from you! Keep inspiring woman around the world to be themselves Unapologetically. Against every naysayer you’re you and i adore your strength 🙏❤️ love you @kimkardashian Congratulations!"

Which is where the Aboah comes in, taking a swipe at Kim Kardashian with her comment. She responded to the photo:

"Is this a joke babe?...In what world has she inspired women to be themselves? She is no icon nor an Influencer and I find it completely crazy that anyone would think she was. @winnieharlow".

Interestingly, Harlow then replied with a reasoned and measured response to clarify her comments, offering, "We’ve all been up against all kinds in these industries. I may not agree with everything Anyone does but i show love where I feel its due…and a woman being herself against everything is admirable."

As a side note, Kardashian also commented on Winnie's Instagram post, though she did not acknowledge Adwoa's shade, instead writing, "This is the sweetest message! I appreciate it so much! And you have helped me in more ways than you know ❤️. Love you!"
