David Banda Clarifies 'Scavenging' for Food Remarks

Madonna's 18-year-old son David Banda has clarified his recent comments about 'scavenging' for food after moving out of his mother's New York City apartment, affirming that he is not living on the streets and receives continuous support from his mother. Banda, who now lives in The Bronx with his girlfriend Maria Atuesta, teaches guitar lessons to support himself and enjoys the independence and challenges of his new lifestyle. Despite rumors and concerns, he insists that his remarks were made in jest and that he is happy and well-supported. Madonna, who has always shared a close bond with her son, continues to feature him in her life and career, including on her recent Celebration Tour.
