Madonna's adopted son surprised everyone with his confession. 18-year-old David Banda left his mother's home, and although he doesn't hide that he sometimes lacks money, such as for food, he is happy about his independence.

Few music industry stars can boast an impressive career like Madonna. The 65-year-old singer, despite the inevitable passage of time, still enjoys the affection of her fans, as evidenced by her latest concert tour, "The Celebration Tour." During the performances, her children could also be seen on stage. For instance, her 11-year-old daughter Estere showcased her dance moves.

I think the biggest lesson my children have learned this year during rehearsals and performances is that if you want to pursue your dreams, you have to work hard for them […] And if each of them chooses a different path later in life, they will never forget this year full of blood, sweat, and tears - the singer shared in an interview with "W Magazine".

Madonna's son has no money. The 18-year-old must seek food

It turns out not all of Madonna's children want to live in luxury. A few days ago, news spread about the financial situation of the artist's 18-year-old son. David Banda not only left his mother's home but also moved to the Bronx, one of New York City's neighborhoods that doesn't have the best reputation. Although the 18-year-old son of Madonna must seek food, he is happy about his independence.

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

According to information from the "New York Post" website, David Banda is currently earning a living by teaching guitar. The teenager, who has often accompanied his famous mom on stage in the past, charges $200 per lesson. You can book a lesson with the 65-year-old "Queen of Pop"'s son via Instagram.
