Taking to Twitter on Sunday (November 29), the Los Angeles rapper shared an image of his wife Nicole ‘Coco Marie’ Austin’s dad in hospital with the virus.
“My father-in-law ‘Coco’s dad’ was a serious ‘No Masker’ COVID hit him,” he wrote, explaining that he spent 40 days in intensive care after developing pneumonia in both lungs.
“Now he’s on Oxygen indefinitely. Ohhh he’s a Believer now,” he added before signing off with the hashtag #COVIDisNotAGame. You can see that post below.

In response to a fan, who said “some of us gotta learn the hard way”, T tweeted: “Some people think a Mask is a sign of weakness.. My homie @BrotherMob who had it, told me.. ‘Ice, your Gangster can’t fight this s—…..’ I heard him loud and clear!”
“Honestly.. A lot of no maskers only do it because they’re listening to the President.. Just sayin,” he replied to another follower, adding: “I would NEVER wish ANYONE sickness… I don’t need that Karma.”

Back in May, Ice T launched a retirement fund for ageing rappers after the idea was suggested by Swizz Beats.
“I don’t expect the young kids to be involved in it,” T explained, “but then you do have enough people like myself and Swizz and people who have been very successful, you know? There’s no retirement for rappers. There is nothing. A lot of them have fallen on hard times.”
