"My father-in-law ‘Coco’s dad’ was a serious ‘No Masker,'" Ice-T wrote in a tweet. "COVID hit him. Pneumonia in both lungs... 40 days in ICU close to death... Now he’s on oxygen indefinitely."

"Ohhh he’s a believer now..." the rapper concluded, including the hashtag #COVIDisNotAGame.

Ice-T's tweet attracted plenty of comments, including many from people who claimed that anti-maskers deserve "no sympathy."

The rapper responded by claiming that many anti-maskers have been misled by President Donald Trump. Honestly, a lot of no maskers only do it because they’re listening to the President," Ice-T wrote. "Just sayin'."

Ice-T then responded to a Twitter user who attempted to shame him for sharing his father-in-law's story.

"Clownass, If I’m willing to use a family member that I love, as an example of someone coming close to death from a virus that I assume you think is fake," the rapper wrote in response. "And I’m trying to warn people... then it must be serious to me. Brandon, you’ve got a lotta nerve..."
