Madonna’s son says he’s been ‘forced to scavenge food’ after moving out of his mum’s home despite her £650m wealth

MADONNA’s son David Banda says he has been forced to “scavenge” for food after moving out of the superstar’s home.

The teen musician is now living in an apartment in The Bronx, New York, and charges for online guitar lessons in a bid to make some cash.

Asked how he likes living alone, he insisted: “I love it. I’m not on my own, I’ve got my girlfriend. But I love it.”

However David — whose mum is worth £650million and has homes all over the globe — continued: “It’s lovely to experience it being nine o’clock at night, me being hungry and realising that I don’t have enough money to get food and scavenging. It’s fun to be young.”

If you say so, David.

To be fair, good on Madonna for not turning him into a spoiled brat like plenty of other nepo babies.

David also confirmed that the Hanky Panky hitmaker has a new man in her life, after I revealed she had grown close to Jamaican-born footballer Akeem Morris.

Speaking on Instagram Live, he confirmed: “Truth be told, she’s not single. She’s dating a guy . . .  That’s her life. She’ll do what she wants to do.”

And while David is also loved up with model girlfriend Maria Atuesta, it sounds like he would be at home on Love Island if they ever split up.

He has revealed he is a big fan of the ITV2 series, hosted by Maya Jama.

David said: “I think reality TV is great because it allows people to forget about their day and enter a virtual world where you get to peer into other people’s lives. I like Love Island and Perfect Match.”

I hope ITV bosses are reading this.

ELLIE GOULDING showed her wild side when she went streaking topless through a field.

The singer, who split from her husband Caspar Jopling earlier this year, grinned and cupped her boobs as she went for the dash in photos which she then shared on Instagram.

Former PM Theresa May famously claimed that running through a wheat field was the naughtiest thing she had ever done.

I doubt if she did it topless like Ellie, though.


Laundry is Allen a day’s work for Lily’s . . . kids

SHE has topped the charts and toured the world but there’s one thing Lily Allen has never and will never do – the washing.

The Smile singer, who at 39 should surely have learnt by now, has revealed she has been getting her mum to clean her clothes for her while on holiday in the UK.

And she gets her kids, 12-year-old Ethel and Marnie, 11, plus her husband, actor David Harbour, to do it back home in New York.

She said: “Do you want to know a secret? I don’t know how to use a washing machine. I have this fear of shrinking and dyeing clothes so I just don’t do it.

“David and the kids do the washing. I’ll iron, but I don’t even really like putting things in the drier. I’m scared.”

On her Miss Me? podcast, she added: “The kids are really good at it.

“Ethel is particularly good at using the washing machine but I have a fear of it. I don’t want to go near it.”

Snoop sure can party!

LEIGH-ANNE PINNOCK had one of the best seats in the house as rap royalty descended on West London for a special invite-only show.

Dre Dre and Snoop Dogg threw a huge bash at Flipper’s roller disco on Thursday night to launch their Gin & Juice canned drinks.

And they brought man of the moment Eminem out as a special guest.

But notorious cannabis-lover Snoop risked getting in trouble with the fuzz as he puffed on a suspicious-looking cigarette and asked the crowd: “Does anybody want to smoke with Snoop Dogg tonight?”

He and Dre delivered a 35-minute set of their greatest hits as guests, including Leigh-Anne at a VIP table, watched.

Then they invited regular collaborator Eminem on stage to perform his No1 single, Houdini.

Other stars at the bash included England striker Jude Bellingham, LA Lakers basketball player Lebron James, actor Idris Elba, plus Strictly host Tess Daly and her husband, Radio 2’s Vernon Kay.

Earlier, the roller rink at the venue had been open for skating, but unfortunately I didn’t see Tess or any of the other celebs going for a spin.

After the show, I’m told Eminem headed back to his hotel via a Burger King.

And while Dre also left to get some kip, Snoop stayed to party until the early hours.

Even at 52, he isn’t taking it easy.


LADBABY are to realease their first ever autobiography.

Mark and Roxanne Hoyle promise an “hilarious tell-all” when LadBaby Journey lands on November 7.

The chart-topping YouTube couple say: “We never dreamt we would have a charity Christmas No1, never mind five. It’s been a rollercoaster journey.”

Lewis is looking smiles better

HE has spent the last year away from music while he works on his mental health.

So it’s good to see a smile back on Lewis Capaldi’s face in my exclusive photos from a fun-filled afternoon with pals in London’s Notting Hil.

I told last month how he had been taking some tentative steps back to music and had been photographed in the studio.

But I’m glad Lewis isn’t rushing into anything.

What’s the point in making millions if you can’t spend it on a boozy afternoon in the sun with pals?
