Nyle DiMarco Just Dropped an ASL Version of Ariana Grande's '7 Rings'
"WATCH ME RAP," exclaimed the America's Next Top Model winner!
Nyle DiMarco is flossin' like Ariana Grande in his ASL version of her #1 hit song '7 Rings.'
When Grande's 'thank u, next' video debuted last winter without captions, DiMarco promptly called out her team and Vevo for not making one of YouTube's biggest debuts accessible to the hearing impaired.
"Captioning enhances the viewing experience,” DiMarco told Out. “It should be a standard part of any filmed media, and not as an afterthought, but as a part of the ultimate golden standard of universal design.”
Grande said "you want it, you got it," to the request and '7 Rings' premiered with captions, which DiMarco thanked her for. Now, the sexually fluid model/actor has taken that a step farther with his own version with American Sign Language.
