America's Next Top Model winner Nyle DiMarco drops sign language video for Ariana Grande's "7 rings"
While the rest of the world debates the meaning of Ariana Grande's ill-fated attempt at a "7 rings" tattoo, model and Deaf activist Nyle DiMarco has dropped an alternative video for the track.
DiMarco, who won Cycle 22 of cult reality show America's Next Top Model before quickstepping to victory on Dancing With The Stars, appears in the new video signing the lyrics to Grande's latest single.
Sharing the video on Twitter, DiMarco praised Grande for including captions in her original video. It is one of many tweets on his feed dedicated to bringing light to the Deaf community, and advocating for accessibility and inclusion in all forms of media.
.@arianagrande dropped 7rings with captions, we dropped in SIGN LANGUAGE!!!

The video, directed by Jake Wilson, has already clocked over half-a-million YouTube views, and gained an endorsement from Miss Grande herself. Perhaps she should have taken a leaf out of DiMarco's book, and had her lyrics tattooed in sign language instead.
