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 look at a few changes in his life after graduating from high school.
A fan asked Banda how he liked “living on your own,” according to People magazine, to which Banda candidly responded how humbling the experience has been since moving out of his mom’s New York abode.

“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 teaches guitar lessons with bookings available via Instagram.
Sources told the outlet that Madonna is “very close” with David, and that she’s “always been supportive of all of her kids.”
