Madonna’s adopted son is surprised with a confession. 18-year-old David Banda has left his mother’s home, and although he admits that he sometimes struggles financially, for example, with food expenses, he is happy with his newfound independence.

Few music stars can boast achievements as impressive as Madonna. The 65-year-old singer, despite the inevitable passage of time, still enjoys the affection of her fans. This is evident from her recent concert tour, "The Celebration Tour." During her performances, her children also made appearances. For instance, her 11-year-old daughter Estere showcased her dancing skills.

My children have learned the most this year during rehearsals and performances that if you want to follow your dreams, you have to work hard for them. And if each of them chooses something different later in life, they will never forget this year full of blood, sweat, and tears, the singer confessed in an interview with W Magazine.

Madonna’s son faces financial challenges and searches for food

It turns out that not all of Madonna’s children want to live in glitz and glamour. A few days ago, news broke about the financial situation of the artist's 18-year-old son. David Banda has not only left his mother’s home but has also moved to the Bronx, a district in New York City known for its tough reputation. Although the 18-year-old son of Madonna faces financial challenges, he cherishes his independence.

I love it. I’m not alone; I have a girlfriend. It’s wonderful to experience that it’s 9 PM, I’m hungry, and I realize that I don’t have enough money for food, so I look for food. It’s fun to be young, David said, quoted by the "New York Post" during an Instagram live broadcast.

According to the "New York Post," David Banda is currently earning a living by teaching guitar. The teenager, who often accompanied his famous mother on stage in the past, charges a fee of 200 dollars per lesson. Lessons with the 65-year-old "queen of pop's" son can be arranged via Instagram.
