Post Malone is known for his music and down-to-earth persona, but his recent act of kindness has the internet buzzing. On Christmas Eve, during a visit to The Railyard, a Houston bar near River Oaks, the artist left an extraordinary $20,000 tip for bartender Renee Brown, a single mother.

Brown, who works two jobs and homeschools her daughter, shared her surprise. “The day started off slow, and I was just trying to stay positive,” she said. Missing her usual Christmas Eve traditions of baking cookies and watching movies with her 9-year-old daughter, she focused on creating a welcoming atmosphere for patrons.
Malone, in town for Beyoncé’s halftime show during the Texans-Ravens game, stopped by the bar with fellow artist Shaboozey. Despite efforts by regulars to cover his tab, Malone insisted on being charged a small amount so he could leave a tip. What came next left Brown in shock.
“When I checked my tips at the end of my shift, I couldn’t believe my eyes,” Brown recounted. “I was emotional as I thanked him, explaining how much it all meant to me.”
Brown explained the impact of Malone’s gesture. “We’ve been without a car for two years and recently moved after losing everything. This gift is life-changing.”
Post Malone’s act of kindness went beyond a simple tip. “He made everyone feel comfortable and normal despite being a superstar,” Brown said. “His generosity blew me away.”
Malone’s visit to Houston wasn’t limited to this heartfelt moment. He joined Beyoncé during her record-breaking Christmas Day halftime show, performing their country duet, “Levii’s Jeans,” from her album Cowboy Carter. The game, watched by over 30 million viewers, was historic for the NFL and Netflix alike.
As the world celebrates the holidays, Malone’s thoughtful act serves as a reminder of the power of kindness. For Brown, it turned a lonely Christmas Eve into an unforgettable blessing.
