Madonna’s 18-year-old son David Banda says he’s “scavenging” for food after moving out of his mom’s multi-million dollar home.

“I love it. I’m not on my own, I’ve got my girlfriend. But I love it,” Banda, who is dating 21-year-old model Maria Atuesta, said on recent session on Instagram Live.

“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. It’s fun to be young.”

Banda is purportedly living in The Bronx and making his own money by teaching guitar.

His new way of life seems to be a far cry from that of his mother’s, who is reportedly worth a whopping $850 million and boasts an impressive bicoastal real estate portfolio.

Banda charges $200 a pop for his guitar lessons, which can be booked through his Instagram page.

He has also worked as a model.

Banda — who is one of Madonna’s six children — also confirmed that his superstar mom is “not single” and that she’s “dating a guy.”

Last year, Madge, 65, was linked to boxer Josh Popper, 29, but in May the couple reportedly called it quits. Despite reports that the pop star was getting close to fighter Richard Riakporhe, 34, he has since denied the rumors, claiming the pair are just friends.

Currently on her Celebration Tour, Madonna has included four of her kids on stage.

“I think what my children learned the most in this year of rehearsing and performing is that if you want to follow your dreams, you have to work hard for them,” she said an interview with W magazine.

“And if all of them choose something different later in life, they will never forget this year of blood, sweat, and tears.”

In a previous interview with Vogue back in 2019, the Grammy winning artist gushed over Banda’s work ethic and talent.

“What he has more than anything is focus and determination,” Madonna said of Banda, who was adopted as an infant with her ex-husband, Guy Ritchie.

“I’m pretty sure he got it from me. He’s the one I have the most in common with. I feel like he gets me; he has more of my DNA than any of my children so far. Let’s see what happens – it’s still early days for everyone.”
Living in The Bronx and teaching guitar for $200 a lesson, Madonna’s son David Banda is embracing a more humble lifestyle compared to his superstar mother.

At 18 years old, he admits to sometimes scavenging for food with his girlfriend, model Maria Atuesta, when money is tight. Despite his mother’s vast wealth and real estate empire, Banda is determined to make his own way in the world.

While Madonna continues to tour and showcase her children’s talents on stage, Banda is carving out his own path as a musician and model. With a strong work ethic and determination, he is following his dreams and learning the value of hard work. As Madonna’s biological son, Banda shares a special connection with his mother and is eager to see where his talents will take him in the future.

As Madonna explores new relationships and continues to inspire her children to pursue their passions, Banda remains focused on his music and his relationship with Atuesta.

With a promising future ahead of him, Banda is proving that success is possible with dedication and drive. Keep following us for more updates and inspiring stories about young talent making their mark in the world. Let’s continue to support and celebrate their achievements together.
