A singe mum has spoken about how her life was "completely changed" after rapper Post Malone left a huge tip for her on Christmas Eve.
Renee Brown had been working at The Railyard bar in Houston, Texas, when Post Malone walked in.
The music superstar was in the city ahead of his performance alongside Beyoncé for the Christmas Day half-time show at the Texans-Ravens game in the NFL.
But as he left the bar, he decided to leave a huge $20,000 tip for Brown.
Speaking to Music Mayhem, the mum said she had been upset that day about the fact she was away from her nine-year-old daughter on Christmas Eve because of work.
Brown told the publication that the tip was a "Christmas miracle", and she described Post Malone, real name Austin Richard Post, as "the most humble, personable celebrity I’ve had the pleasure of meeting."
She continued: "He changed my life on Christmas f***ing Eve, and will forever be grateful. Thank you so much, Austin."
Brown explained that the money would allow her to "at least be able to get a way back and forth to work and pay up on rent and save a bit."
She added: "I’m trying to save up to start a business, so I don’t have to continue working two jobs and be able to spend more time with my daughter. Things have been extremely difficult, and this was truly a blessing that I can’t fully put into words. The visit alone was absolutely amazing and something I could talk about and remember for the rest of my life."
