Ice-T previously talked about his father-in-law being a “no-masking type of dude” who was put on “his back” because of COVID-19 on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”.
“There are still non-believers,” he explained at the time. “I’ve made it through so much in my life, I don’t want to die because of this — especially with a new daughter. I’m aware and I’m concerned and I’m cautious.”
