Post Malone helped kick-start the new year in a huge way for one bartender.
On Christmas Eve, Post Malone stopped by The Railyard, a neighborhood dive bar in Houston, Texas. Renee Brown, a single mother and bartender, shared with Music Mayhem that she had to leave her 9-year-old daughter at home on Christmas Eve for the first time so she could work a late shift at the bar.
When Malone showed up alongside friends like Shaboozey, Brown said she “told all my regulars not to be weird” since he likely came to the local joint to “feel a sense of normalcy.” She went on to note that while Malone’s check was taken care of at the time of closing, he insisted she charged him a small amount so he could leave a tip.
“He asked me to ring him up for a penny or anything, so I did,” Brown told the publication. “I continued my close and collected all my checks and started to enter my tips. Then I got to his. It was a tip for $20,000.”
As a single mother, Brown said this tip helps immensely, especially because she works two jobs and homeschools her daughter.
“This put me in a position to at least be able to get a way back and forth to work and pay up on rent and save a bit,” she said. “I’m trying to save up to start a business, so I don’t have to continue working two jobs and be able to spend more time with my daughter. Things have been extremely difficult, and this was truly a blessing that I can’t fully put into words. The visit alone was absolutely amazing and something I could talk about and remember for the rest of my life.”
In an Instagram post, Brown shared that Malone is “hands down the most humble personable celebrity I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.”
