Madonna's son, David Banda, has recently shared insights into his newfound independence as he navigates life on his own in New York City. The 18-year-old revealed that he has been 'scavenging' for food, highlighting the challenges of managing finances and basic needs.
Despite his mother's substantial wealth, Banda has chosen to live in the Bronx and has taken up teaching guitar lessons to earn extra income. He expressed his enjoyment of the experience, emphasizing his sense of freedom and self-reliance.
Banda also mentioned his girlfriend, Maria Atuesta, as a source of support in his journey towards independence. Additionally, he confirmed Madonna's relationship with Jamaican-born footballer Akeem Morris following her split from Josh Popper.
While the exact timeline of Banda's move out of Madonna's residence is unclear, he stood by his mother during a challenging period when she faced a severe health scare last year. Madonna's hospitalization due to a bacterial infection prompted Banda's unwavering support, reflecting the strong bond between them.
Madonna, known for her resilience, prioritized her recovery and rescheduled her world tour to focus on her health. Throughout this time, Banda remained by her side, demonstrating his commitment to family.
As Madonna celebrated her 65th birthday, she and Banda were seen together at JFK airport, hinting at a getaway vacation. Banda's protective demeanor towards his mother underscored their close relationship and his role as a supportive figure in her life.
