A single mother working as a bar worker on Christmas Eve received an incredible gift after Post Malone visited her establishment.
Renee Brown, 36, revealed to Music Mayhem Magazine that Malone left him a $20,000 tip during his shift at The Railyard bar in Houston, Texas.
While Brown, who works two jobs to make ends meet, was saddened by not being able to spend the holidays with her young daughter, she ended the night receiving a “Christmas miracle.”
‘Going to work on Christmas Eve, I was so sad I had to leave my baby to go to work. Ignoring that God would send me a Christmas miracle,” he told the media.
Brown said the 29-year-old Coachella headliner stopped by the bar with his friends and his presence lifted everyone in the bar.
“I told all my regulars not to be weird or bother him, since it’s a neighborhood bar, and I’m sure he chose a place like that to have a sense of normalcy,” she said.

She said the musician and his friends enjoyed drinks and music on the patio until the bar closed early on Christmas morning.
The customers paid his bill, but he insisted that they charge him something so he could show his appreciation.
“Everyone who was with him was also very friendly and welcoming, we had a great night playing songs on the jukebox. Then it was time for last call and closing. When Austin asked for his check, he didn’t have it because so many customers regulars and their friends bought their drink,” he said.
“Then he asked me to call him for a penny or something, and I did. I continued with my closing, collected all my checks and started entering my tips. Then I got to his. “It was a $20,000 tip,” he said.
The receipt shows Malone left a $20,000 tip after being charged just one dollar.
Renée said the gesture filled her with emotion. “I immediately burst into tears,” he said.
Brown thanked Malone during an interlude of his work.
‘I finally got the chance to stop cleaning and talk to him a little more and thank him. “I know I was crying and thanking him, but he has no idea how much this meant to me.”
Brown, a single mother, recently moved after “losing everything” and has also been getting by for the past two years without a car.
Brown said Malone’s presence cheered up all the customers.

“This put me in a position to at least be able to get back and forth to work, pay rent and save a little bit,” he said of the tip.
“I’m trying to save to start a business, so I don’t have to continue working two jobs and I can spend more time with my daughter.”
Meanwhile, Malone will soon be on one of the biggest stages.
The rapper has been announced as one of the headliners at this year’s Coachella music festival.
