In a recent Instagram post, the 25-year-old revealed that he is recovering after undergoing heart transplant surgery.
Brentt wrote:
“To begin with, let me say, “Thank you, God.” This year was undoubtedly the craziest for me. After several trips to the hospital and many doctors appointments, I finally heard the unexpected news that I was diagnosed with “congestive Heart Failure” On June 19 (Ish), ?
In July of this year, I went into a 14 hour heart transplant surgery and now have a brand new heart in me. Now that I’m back (still in recovery) I’ve essentially had to relearn how to walk and communicate, but I’m even more fluent.
This experience has FOREVER changed my life. I am so thankful to the family that donated the heart!
A huge thank you to MY MOM, marshella , Nyoni, Big Janae , Nikiyah, my friends, doctors, nurses, and everyone else who was pushing, pulling and praying me thru this??
Never give up. ??”
Alongside the message, Brentt shared several videos of him slowly walking in the hospital following his surgery. In the video he can be heard saying, “I’m walking, y’all. I can’t believe I’m back walking, y’all. Been a couple days since I walked. Thank God.”
He also shared several photos of him lying in his hospital bed following surgery.
Naturally, NeNe Leakes commented on the post, writing, “To God Be The Glory! It has been A LOT! I am so proud of how strong you’ve been thru this process son.”
RHOA alum Marlo Hampton also commented on Brentt’s post: “Love ya, nephew, I always tell you.. your covered by the … ,”
You can hear the sob and weakness, but although his prognosis is good, from what I understand, it's still only a temporary (although long term) fix. Now if they only had the technology to replace all the arteries leading TO the heart, I'd be good.

?? I’m so happy that it went well. My daughter had a heart transplant when she was 8 1/2 months old. It is a grueling, heart wrenching ordeal for everyone involved and my heart goes out to Nene and Brentt and their family. I hope he continues to improve and makes the most of his second chance.

Thank you. I feel sorry for the families of the donors, but I’m so grateful for what they give.
