Madonna’s son David Banda reassured fans he is ‘good’ after earlier comments about ‘scavenging’ for food

David said, “I love it. I’m not on my own, I’ve got my girlfriend. But I love it.” He added, “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.”

To bring in extra funds, David gives guitar lessons online, and prospective students can book lessons off his main Instagram page, which boasts nearly 52,000 followers.

The 18-year-old musician – who is dating rising model Maria Atuesta, 21 – took to his Instagram on Sunday to correct the narrative that he is struggling to make ends meet since moving out of The Material Girl’s Upper East Side apartment

Madonna, who is worth around $600 million, previously gushed about David during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, saying, “You know he makes music now, too. He’s going to end up being one of your guests.”

The singer also talked about her son’s eye for fashion, saying, “He’ll put on any outfit and look swag as you know what. It’s really irritating. He wears my clothes and looks better in them.”

Last year, Madonna faced a “near death” health scare caused by a bacterial infection. In April, she reflected on David and her five other children “saving” her during the health crisis.

David joined his mother on her Celebration Tour, which came to an end in May with a free concert in Rio de Janeiro.

Along with David, Madonna is mother to Lourdes Leon, 27, Rocco, 23, Mercy, 18, and twins Stella and Estere, 11.

According to The Sun, David also confirmed that his mother has a new romance in her life during an Instagram Live, but did not name the mystery man she is dating.

‘Truth be told, she’s not single. She’s dating a guy…That’s her life. She’ll do what she wants to do,’ David said.
