Madonna, also known as the “Queen of Pop,” has made a name for herself as a groundbreaking artist and loving mother to her six kids. Recently, there was a lot of talk about her 18-year-old son David Banda after he posted an Instagram Live about where he was staying. Fans and followers made snap judgements, thinking the kid was having problems with being homeless and going hungry.
But David quickly put an end to the rumours by telling a more complex story. He talked about how great it is to be young and independent on Instagram Live, letting people know that his girlfriend, model Maria Atuesta, makes him feel less alone.
David has grown up in the spotlight as the sixth child of the famous singer. Madonna has five children: David, Mercy, Stella and Estere, the twins, and Lourdes and Rocco, who she had naturally.
Last year, on David’s 18th birthday, Madonna gave him an emotional gift and praised his growth into a great young man. Fans were naturally worried when rumours spread that he was having a hard time.
David quickly put an end to the rumours by sharing a clear message on his Instagram story: “My mother is very supportive of me…” I’m happy with my life, and I’m not lying on the street and going hungry!” He told everyone that everything is fine and that he is focussing on his love of music, even giving online guitar classes.
David’s quick reaction shows how important it is to set the record straight in a world where false information spreads quickly. As a young adult, he is learning how to be independent while staying close to his mother, Madonna, who is always there for him.
