Post Malone gave one server a massive tip to remember during this previous holiday season.
The rapper stopped by Houston’s The Railyard Bar on Christmas Eve and met Renee Brown who was working as a bartender during a late night shift.
Speaking to Music Mayhem, Brown revealed that she was upset that she was away from her nine-year-old daughter, Iliana, during the holiday — but Post Malone ultimately made the situation better.
“The day started off super slow, and I was just taking it as it was, trying to be in a good mood for others while dealing with not being able to spend Christmas Eve with my daughter,” she explained to the outlet. “We usually bake cookies and watch Christmas movies, and this was the first time I wasn’t able to do that.”
Things changed when Post Malone came to the bar with Shaboozey and others. “I initially didn’t realize he was there until one of my coworkers from my second job came inside and told me that Austin (Post Malone) was outside on the patio,” she added. “I thought he was kidding with me at first, then I kept seeing people go outside [and] I kept making drinks for like 30 minutes before curiosity got the best of me, and lo and behold, he was there.”
Brown explained that Malone and his friends had a fun night that involved singing songs from the jukebox. After his tab was covered by others who were excited to see him, Malone decided to give Brown a gift that Santa wouldn’t even be able to bring her. “So he asked me to ring him up for a penny or anything, so I did. 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 dollars,” she said.
Brown then revealed that the tip brought her to tears — and she’s forever grateful for him changing her life.
Post Malone had a great holiday season. He also performed with Beyoncé during the NFL Christmas Day halftime show performance. Afterward, he shared a special thank you message to her for letting him hit the stage to perform “LEVII’S JEANS."
