The College Student Took To TikTok To Thank Jason Derulo
A TikTok user by the handle @jordanschaffer2 took to the platform on Tuesday to share a video message highlighting Derulo’s generosity. In the video, the waiter explained that Derulo tipped him $5,000 at Charleston Restaurant in Ohama, Nebraska.
