David Banda, Madonna’s son, stressed that he is “good” after claiming to have been “scavenging” for food since moving out of his mother’s luxury Upper East Side residence.
“I am very happy in my life, and I am not living on the streets, starving!” the 18-year-old stated on Instagram Story Sunday.
“Please stop worrying everything is good.”
Madonna’s son David Banda clarified his comments about “scavenging” for food after moving to the Bronx.
“I am very happy in my life and I am not living out on the streets, starving!” the 18-year-old wrote on Instagram.
Banda also clarified that the “Material Girl” singer, 65, always has been “very supportive” of him and his decisions, which include moving to the Bronx with his girlfriend and making money by teaching guitar lessons.
The teen made headlines over the weekend after telling his 53,000 Instagram followers that he was struggling to make ends meet on his own.
“It’s lovely to experience it being nine o’clock at night, me being hungry and realizing that I don’t have enough money to get food and scavenging,” he said on Instagram Live. “It’s fun to be young.”
The guitarist also said his mom has been “very supportive” of him.
“Please stop worrying everything is good,” he wrote.
Banda also shared that he was living with his girlfriend, model Maria Atuesta, in the outer borough.
“I love it. I’m not on my own. … But I love it,” he added.
Banda is one of Madonna’s six kids — all of whom were by her side during her near-fatal bacterial infection that resulted in the “Vogue” singer being intubated in the ICU in June 2023.
The 18-year-old made headlines over the weekend for claiming he didn’t have “enough money to get food.”
“It’s fun to be young,” he said of his lifestyle.
Madonna’s kids, Banda and Rocco Ritchie, were photographed visiting her luxury home after her release to heal. She expressed gratitude to her fans and vowed to reschedule her “Celebration” tour, which began six months later in December.
Fans filed a lawsuit against the “Holiday” artist because to complaints about the tour’s shows starting late.
Madonna has asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed, stating that forcing supporters to “get up early to go to work” the next morning does not constitute legal “injury.”
