Madonna’s Son David Banda Scavenging for Food After Leaving NYC Home: Report

Don’t cry for Madonna’s son David Banda just yet.

During a recent Instagram Live, the “Material Girl” singer’s 18-year-old son shared a glimpse into his life changes after graduating from high school.

A fan asked Banda how he liked “living on your own.” According to People magazine, Banda candidly expressed how humbling the experience has been since moving out of his mom’s New York home.

“It’s lovely to experience it being 9 o’clock at night, me being hungry and realizing that I don’t have enough money to get food, but we don’t have enough food in the house and scavenging,” he shared on social media.

Banda is reportedly living with his girlfriend in The Bronx and offers guitar lessons, which can be booked via Instagram.

Sources revealed that Madonna is “very close” with David and that she has “always been supportive of all of her kids.”

Madonna adopted David from Malawi in 2006 when she was married to Guy Ritchie. Representatives for Madonna did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The “Borderline” singer has two biological children: daughter Lourdes Leon with ex Carlos Leon and son Rocco Ritchie with ex-husband, Guy Ritchie. She adopted David during a humanitarian trip to Malawi with Guy in 2006 and later returned to adopt daughter Chifundo “Mercy” James.

In 2017, Madonna adopted twins Stella and Estere when they were five years old. Earlier this month, Madonna celebrated a major health milestone.

In June 2023, she developed a “serious bacterial infection,” which led to a “several day stay in the ICU,” her longtime manager wrote on Instagram at the time.

“A year ago today, I had just come home from the hospital after surviving a life-threatening illness. I could barely stand in my backyard holding one sparkler,” she shared on Instagram over the Fourth of July holiday. “I made a miraculous recovery and had an amazing year. Thank you, God. Life is beautiful!”

Madonna was forced to reschedule several dates on her Celebration World Tour in June 2023 due to the medical issue.

In March, the “Like a Virgin!” singer recalled the “near-death experience” at her sold-out Los Angeles show and told fans that her first word coming out of an induced coma after four days was “No,” according to People.

“I’m pretty sure that was God saying to me, ‘Do you want to come? Want to come up with me? No,’” Madonna said.

Madonna’s journey reflects her resilience and her determination to keep moving forward despite the challenges. Her son David Banda’s candidness about his life adjustments gives a window into the realities of stepping out of a superstar’s shadow and into a world where life lessons are learned through personal experience.

David’s struggle to adjust to living independently in New York reflects a common narrative among young adults making the same transition. His openness about “scavenging” for food and the financial realities of independence breaks the often glamorized perception of celebrity children.

Despite the struggles, David shows resilience by teaching guitar lessons, showcasing his talent and finding ways to sustain himself. His story underlines the importance of self-reliance and perseverance, even when one comes from a background of considerable privilege.

Madonna’s life with her children, both biological and adopted, highlights her role as a supportive mother. Her adoptions from Malawi demonstrate her commitment to giving back and expanding her family through her humanitarian efforts.

Her public battles with illness and her subsequent recovery underscore her fighting spirit. This resilience also mirrors in her professional life, where she quickly bounced back to continue her world tour.

Madonna continues to be an influential figure both in her personal life and career. Her recovery journey and celebration of overcoming a life-threatening illness serve as an inspiration to many.

David Banda’s journey into adulthood is one worth watching as he navigates the challenges of independence while embracing the lessons that come with it.
