- Audiences can't get enough of Eminem's ASL interpreter who was jamming along during a concert.
- Holly Maniatty has been interpreting for many years and has also reportedly worked with artists like Snoop and The Wu-Tang Clan.
- This isn't the first time she's gone viral for her skills.
The deaf community is often severely underrepresented when it comes to the music and entertainment industries, despite being 466 million people strong. So when an American Sign Language interpreter makes headlines for her killer skills, it's deserving of all the praise.
But really, it's no surprise that rap fans are obsessed with ASL interpreter Holly Maniatty who they are now referring to as a "rap god."
In a recent viral video, posted by Twitter user mattwhitlockPM, Maniatty is filmed while interpreting at hyper-speed an Eminem concert. Not only is she signing, though: she's jamming out just like the rest of the crowd and the audience was soon in love with her infectious energy.

This isn't Maniatty's first time going viral, however.
In the past, she's also interpreted for Snoop and the Wu-Tang Clan. A 2013 viral video garnered the ASL interpreter a lot of unexpected attention. When interviewed then by WPTZ, she explained, "I didn't have like any concept that anyone was like filming us. So when it came out, it was — I was really shocked."
And now, five years since the Vermont native first went viral, audiences are still in awe of her immense talent for interpretation.
I love that he has a signer.
