Bartender Renee Brown is surprised by a superstar in the bar
36-year-old Renee Brown spent Christmas Eve at The Railyard bar, away from her nine-year-old daughter Iliana. The evening was initially quiet until Post Malone, accompanied by friends, entered the bar.
Brown, who has juggled two jobs in the past to make ends meet, was initially incredulous when she learned of Malone's presence, she tells Music Mayhem Magazine: "I thought he [a colleague] was kidding at first," she said when she first heard about his visit.
Post Malone gives generous tip of $20,000
Post Malone and his friends enjoyed the evening while listening to music on the terrace of the bar. As the evening drew to a close, the musician insisted on charging Brown, even though his drinks had already been paid for by other guests.
"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," Brown explains. To her surprise, Post Malone left a tip of 20,000 dollars, which made her burst into tears. "I immediately broke down crying," she says about the emotional night.
Life-changing experience for single mother
For Renee Brown, the generous tip was a life-changing event. She explains: "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." The financial support gave her hope of opening her own business and spending more time with her daughter.
Despite the challenges she has faced, Brown expresses her gratitude and hopes Post Malone knows how much his gesture has impacted her life. "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 concludes.
Post Malone is being celebrated online for his generous gesture. On X, he is described as "real Santa Claus" or "national treasure".
