Ice-T slams father-in-law who refused to wear a mask and nearly died from Covid

Ice-T has slammed his father-in-law for refusing to wear a face mask as he later nearly died from coronavirus.

The rapper's in-law Steve, the dad of Coco Austin, caught the deadly bug and got pneumonia in both lungs.

Steve, who Ice-T said was once a "serious No Masker", was put in intensive care and will also be on oxygen indefinitely.

'No maskers' refuse to wear personal protective equivalent because they fear it harms the body's oxygen levels, which is untrue.

Taking to his Twitter account over the weekend, Ice-T shared a picture of Steve in his hospital bed looking very ill and wearing his oxygen mask.

"Pneumonia in both lungs..

"40 days in ICU close to death..

"Now he's on Oxygen indefinitely.

"Ohhh he's a Believer now."

Ice-T finished the post with the hashtag #COVIDisNotAGame.

He was then trolled for sharing a picture of Steve while seriously ill, but the artist defended his actions, explaining that he wanted to warn people.

Ice-T tweeted: "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..

"And I'm trying to warn people..

"Then it must be serious to me. You've got a lotta nerve."
