Gap Nigga

A “Gap Nigga” is a man or woman who steps in just when life’s throwing you a curveball. They’re not necessarily forever, but they’re exactly who you need in the moment— they are the bridge between your real or longterm relationship. The Gap Nigga is there for you whether it’s for a pep talk, companionship, sex or just someone who gets it when no one else does. While a gap nigga isn’t responsible for you — They fill the void and hold it down, and keep you moving forward until your permanent person shows up.
