Want Yet Another Reason To Love Post Malone? How About 20,000 Of Them?

A 36-year-old bartender in Houston named Renee Brown had a very good Christmas all thanks to Post Malone.  Brown is a single mom with no other family.  She works two jobs and also homeschools her daughter.  She was working the late shift at a neighborhood bar called The Railyard on Christmas Eve when Post Malone showed up with Shaboozey and a few friends.

She told “Music Mayhem” the group hung out on the patio and played songs on the jukebox from 12:30 to 2:00 a.m.  Then the singer went to pay the check only to find out the tab had been picked up by his friends and a few regulars.

He wanted to leave a tip though, so he asked Renee to charge him for something, even if it was just a penny.  She ended up charging him $1.  Then when she was closing down, she checked his receipt and realized he tipped her $20,000.

He was still there so she tracked him down and just started crying.

She says he was the “most humble” celebrity she’s ever met.  Quote, “If this message reaches him, I know I told him that night how grateful I am.  But I’d like to reiterate that he helped me in ways I can’t even begin to explain.”

She said she’s been struggling to scrape by and hasn’t had a car for two years.  So $20,000 was a life-changing amount of money.
