REAL Housewives of Atlanta alum Nene and husband Gregg Leakes’ son Brentt, 22, threw a party at their family lounge to honor his late father.

The celebration took place just hours after Gregg passed away from cancer.

One post showed off a chalkboard sign with a drawing of Gregg, while someone wrote: “Celebrating the life of Gregg Leakes.”

He then shared a post from the lounge’s Instagram account promoting a karaoke night in honor of Gregg, while Brent added: “Come celebrate my dads life tonight. Ima be there and Ima probably cry.”

He also promised to buy those in attendance Casamigos tequila.

A clip followed of Brentt dancing and singing as he celebrated his father’s life at the event.

TRAGIC LOSS

Gregg lost his fight to cancer on Wednesday after first being diagnosed in 2018, the family confirmed.

A spokesperson told E! News: "Today the Leakes family is in deep pain with a broken heart.

"After a long battle with cancer, Gregg Leakes has passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by all of his children, very close loved ones, and wife NeNe Leakes.

"We ask that you pray for peace and strength over their family & allow them to mourn in private during this very, very difficult time."
