She may be one of the sexiest and popular models in the world. But Hailey Baldwin doesn’t want to give credit to Instagram to her success.

In an interview to Elle UK, the 20 year-old supermodel cleared the misconception that social media is a key reason to her success.

'I work my a** off to make what I have and to prove that this is what I want to do,' Baldwin told the magazine.

'I want to be a model. I don't think I would be where I am if people didn't see something in me.'

'I put all my modeling (photos) on my Instagram because I'm showing it to people.'

'It's not about me getting paid to model for things on Instagram of course, sometimes we do get paid for things we do for Instagram and Twitter but there is a line of calling someone an 'Insta model' or an 'Insta star.'
