Post belongs to User

I have a post model that I want to belong to user. When I did that, I couldn't reference any user things in the view. I'm using Devise.

The post model:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :album, :artist, :song
  belongs_to :user
  validates_presence_of :album, :artist, :song
end

The User model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
  # :token_authenticatable, :confirmable,
  # :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable

  # Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model
  attr_accessible :username, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me
  has_many :posts

  validates_uniqueness_of :username
  validates_presence_of :username, :password, :password_confirmation
end

And I tried to reference the username with <%= post.user.username %>. I also tried <%= post.user%> and <%= post.user.name %>.

UPDATE: I added user_id to the table. However, when I make a post, the username and user_id values don't get set.

Thanks everyone, I fixed it. here's my create action. I plan to refactor it to use the Factory pattern.

@post = Post.new(params[:post])
@post.username = current_user.username
@post.user_id = current_user.id
if @post.save
  redirect_to action: "index"
  @posts = Post.find(:all)
else
  render action: 'new'
end
