Ice-T took to Twitter on Sunday afternoon to pay his respects to Richard Belzer, and highlighted the duality of life in the process. “Highs and Lows … After one of the most amazing weeks of my life. I wake up to the news I lost my friend today. Belz is gone.. Damn it,” tweeted the actor and rap star. “But remember this … ‘When you ARE having real fun and are Truly Happy. ENJOY it to the fullest! Cause Pain is inevitably coming.’ I’ll miss you Homie.” While Belzer’s death is undoubtedly the “low” Ice-T speaks of, his recent milestone of receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which took place just one day prior to Belzer’s passing, definitely appears to count as his “high.”

This isn’t the first time that he has spoken highly of Belzer. Shortly after joining the “SVU” cast, Ice-T spoke of his dynamic with his new colleagues. “I went and [joined the cast] and it was the best decision I ever made,” shared Ice-T on the “Literally! With Rob Lowe” podcast (via Express). “I got there and I immediately connected with [Richard] Belzer, Belzer was the best person …” Still, these bonds took time to form. “There was a funny moment, after three episodes they tell me ‘Ice we don’t think you’re bonding with everybody.’ I don’t just meet people and tell them we’re best friends, it takes a minute, I’m going to vibe you out.”
