It was Christmas Eve when Shaboozey and Post Malone walked into Railyard Bar in Houston, Texas. Why the two walked in is unclear, but that doesn’t matter, as it is the leaving part of the story that makes this a wholesome holiday moment. Particularly for 36-year-old bartender, Renee Brown.
Post Malone & Shaboozey Walk Into a Bar…
When they arrived at the neighborhood dive bar, customers had to convince Brown of the new patrons’ status. Although, when she discovered their identities, she made it her priority to uphold the nonchalant attitude the bar is known for. She told Music Mayhem Magazine, “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.”
Surprisingly, the bar’s patrons paid for Post Malone and Shaboozey’s drinks all night long. Consequently, Malone left a whopping $20,000 tip on a bill that certainly did not exceed $5. Seemingly unbeknown to him, Malone’s tip changed Renee Brown’s life. Brown, who works two jobs, homeschools her daughter, and hasn’t had a car in years received this life-changing money with immense gratitude.
She stated, “I immediately broke down crying.” It was a very emotional night already being away from home, being swamped behind the bar, trying to process that they were even there and then the tip on top,” Brown added.
Brown attested to the impact of Malone’s tip by divulging, “Things have been extremely difficult, and this was truly a blessing that I can’t fully put into words.” Post Malone’s Christmas gift is one that Brown will seemingly remember for the rest of her life. Despite his growing fame, Post Malone continues to stay classy and genuine.
