In a post shared on Instagram, the Queen of Pop shared a touching message for her son alongside a video of the celebrations.
At the beginning of the video, Madonna, 65, seemed to be in a car en route to the party, and proclaimed: “Happy birthday, David Banda. You stole my heart.”
Following this, Michael Jackson’s Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ played as clips from the wild night were shown.
David blew a kiss to the camera, looking incredibly suave in a white suit with black accents and a bow tie, with his hair styled in neat cornrows.
The video then showed him dancing energetically on the floor, before showing Madonna herself shaking her hips with other partygoers.
In one clip, Madonna was seen grinding against her boxer boyfriend Joshua Popper, 29, showing off her toned legs in fishnet tights beneath an oversized suit jacket.
Later on in the video, David screamed “we lit!” as he was presented with a birthday cake decorated as a mocked up album cover, with a photo of his face as a young boy looking back at him.
In the caption of her social media post, Madonna wrote: “Happy 18th Birthday David Banda! Tribal Name -Senzangakona- Descendant of the Ngoni And Zulu Tribes!
“It is impossible to believe that almost 18 years have gone by since We met you in Mchinji at Home of Hope Orphanage!”
She added: “Your name means ‘Speak the truth!’ I couldn’t think of a better name for an artist!
“You are growing into a truly remarkable human being! We are all so proud or you! You light up like the brightest star!”

IN HIS DNA
Madonna and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie, 55, adopted David from an orphanage in Malawi in 2006, when he was 13 months old.
Despite not being related, Madonna claimed that the teen is more like her than any of her five other children.
She said: “What he has more than anything is focus and determination.
“I feel like he gets me; he has more of my DNA than any of my children so far.”
David also plays the piano and the guitar, and is a skilled footballer.
Madonna moved her family to Lisbon, Portugal in 2017 just so David could play for Benfica’s youth team.
MAMA’S BACK
Madonna looked in good health as she danced the night away at the party, after her terrifying health crisis this summer.
The star was rushed to the intensive care unit in July after being found unresponsive.
Reportedly, she almost died from a horrific bacterial infection, which saw her collapse at her New York home with suspected septic shock on June 24.
The pop star was hospitalized for several days while battling the infection, and was later released.
At the time, Madonna was said to have been training up to six times a week while rehearsing for her Celebration Tour.
According to the same insider, Madonna has plans to get back to health and start performing again soon, and is already back at rehearsals with tickets available to purchase.
