Post Malone was at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles when he had a heartwarming encounter with Andrew Schumacher, a fan with autism who happened to be celebrating his 21st birthday on that very day.
Coincidentally enough, the group of people at the table next to Andrew sent the rapper a bottle of Sake which made him come over to express his gratitude.
On his way to return to his table, Nicole Schumacher, Andrew’s mom, approached Post Malone and told him that her son is a big fan and would definitely love to meet him. As expected, the rapper happily obliged.
Nicole shared the beautiful interaction on her Instagram and Tiktok accounts which somehow went viral. In the video, Post Malone was shaking Andrew’s hand as he went on to introduce himself.
“I’m Austin. Nice to meet you,” the 26-year old rapper said. His real name is Austin Richard Post.
Nicole then shared that they were actually celebrating Andrew’s 21st birthday and that he was having his first beer experience.
“Ya? What kind of beer you get? That’s a tough choice. Not for me but…,” and the group laughed before he could continue.

Nicole also shared, “He has autism and knows all your songs!” And the musician was quick to respond with “Dude, thank you for listening. That’s so sweet and nice to meet you.”
The rapper continued on and said “Have fun dude, but not too much fun.”
Nicole was interviewed by FOX 11 and said, “He was so incredibly kind and patient with our son who has autism. Andrew has a hard time speaking and Austin was so natural and sweet with him.”
She also shared that she asked Andrew who just walked in when the rapper arrived and her son was quick to answer “Austin.”
“I wasn’t sure if that was his real name until he walked over to our table to introduce himself,” the happy mom continued.
The comment sections easily filled up with comments applauding Post Malone’s kindness and humility. With the blinding success he has acquired through the years, it was refreshing to see him still so grounded and so kind.
One netizen commented, “This hit me in all the right ways… literal tears!! I’m a lucky mama to an autistic 9 yr old boy and this is my dream for him… a million moments just like this.”
Some also shared that they too had a pleasant interaction with the musician. It seems like the rapper is just a naturally nice person wherever he goes.
The mother and son tandem is actually from Canton, Ohio and this encounter with Post Malone is definitely the highlight of their trip.
