While Brown, who works two jobs to make ends meet, was sad she couldn’t spend the holidays with her young daughter, she ended the evening with a “Christmas miracle.”
‘When I went to work on Christmas Eve, I was so sad that I had to leave my little girl to go to work. I wasn’t aware that God was going to send me a Christmas miracle,” she told the outlet.
Brown said the 29-year-old Coachella headliner stopped by the bar with his friends and his presence lifted the spirits of everyone in the bar.
“I told all my regulars not to be weird and bother him because it’s a dive bar nearby, and I’m sure he picked a place like that to get a sense of normalcy.” feel,” she said.

She said the musician and his friends enjoyed drinks and music on the patio until the bar closed early on Christmas morning.
His bill was paid by customers, but he insisted on being charged so he could show his appreciation.
“Everyone he was with was so nice and inviting too, we had a great night jamming songs on the jukebox. Then it came time for the final call and closing. When Austin asked for his check, he didn’t have one because a lot of patrons and his friends bought his drink,” she said.
“So he asked me to call him up for a buck or something, and I did. I continued my closing and collected all my checks and started entering my tips. Then I came to his. It was a $20,000 tip,” he said.
The receipt shows that Malone left a $20,000 tip after being charged only one dollar.
Renee said the gesture left her overcome with emotion. “I immediately burst into tears,” she said.
Brown thanked Malone during a break from work.
“I finally got a chance to stop cleaning and talk to him some more and thank him. I know I cried and thanked him, but he has no idea exactly how much this meant to me.”
Brown, a single mother, recently moved after “losing everything” and has been living without a car for the past two years.

“This at least allowed me to travel back and forth to work, pay the rent and save some money,” she said of the tip.
“I’m trying to save up to start a business so I don’t have to keep working two jobs and can spend more time with my daughter.”
Meanwhile, Malone 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.
