A single mother bartending on Christmas Eve received an incredible gift after Post Malone visited her establishment.
Renee Brown, 36, revealed to Music Mayhem Magazine that Malone left her a $20,000 tip during her shift at The Railyard bar in Houston, Texas.
While Brown, who works two jobs to make ends meet, was saddened she was unable to spend the holiday with her young daughter, she ended the evening receiving a ‘Christmas miracle.’
‘Going into work Christmas Eve, I was so sad I had to leave my baby girl to go to work. Oblivious that God would send me a Christmas miracle,’ she told the outlet.
Brown said the Coachella headliner, 29, came by the bar with his pals, and that his presence uplifted everyone in the bar.
‘I told all my regulars not to be weird and bug him as it’s a neighborhood dive bar, and I’m sure he picked a place like that to feel 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 Christmas morning.
His tab was paid by patrons but he insisted on being charged something so he could show his appreciation.
‘Everyone that he was with was also so kind and inviting, we had a great night jamming to songs on the jukebox. Then came time for last call and to close. When Austin asked for his check, he didn’t have one because many regulars and his friends bought his beverage,’ she said.
‘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,’ he said.

Renee said she was overcome with emotion by the gesture. ‘I immediately broke down crying,’ she said.
Brown thanked Malone during an interlude from her work.
‘I finally got a chance to stop cleaning and talk to him some more and thank him. I know I was crying and thanking him, but he has no ideas exactly how much this meant to me.’
A single mother, Brown recently moved after ‘losing everything’, and has also been making do for the past two years without a car.

‘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 of the tip.
‘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.’
Malone, meanwhile, will soon be on one of the biggest stages.
The rapper has been announced as one of the headliners for this year’s Coachella music festival.
