Deaf model and activist Nyle DiMarco has released his own version of Ariana Grandeโ€™s latest single and video, โ€œ7 Ringsโ€ in American Sign Language.

DiMarco, who is a winner of Americaโ€™s Next Top Model and identifies as sexually fluid, has never been quiet about the need for better understanding of and representation for the deaf community.

Grandeโ€™s song just skyrocketed to No. 1 on Billboardโ€™s Hot 100.

7 Rings is a treat yourself well anthem in the forms of wealth and luxury. As Grande herself wrote, the song is โ€œa flex. friendship anthem. how the homies WANT u to feel.โ€

DiMarcoโ€™s version is similar in tone, style, and aesthetic to Grandeโ€™s. Itโ€™s truly a recreation and tribute with the added element of ASL.
