Madonna‘s son, David Banda, revealed that he is living a humble life in New York City
from selling guitar lessons to ‘scavenging’ for food due to not ‘having enough money’
this is according to UK Daily Mail newspaper
The 18-year-old musician – who is dating rising model Maria Atuesta, 21 – has moved out of his mother’s home and is now living in The Bronx
On the topic of the pros and cons of living on his own, Banda expressed, per The Sun
‘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
and prospective students are able to book lessons off his main Instagram page – which currently boasts nearly 52k followers
he guitarist notably joined the Material Girl hitmaker – who is worth around $600 million – on her Celebration Tour
which came to an end in May with a free concert in Rio de Janeiro
He notably accompanied his mother on stage to play the guitar in front of live crowds as Madonna belted out lyrics to hit tracks
Back in 2022, the songstress previously gushed about David during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.
‘He’s going to end up being one of your guests.’
Madonna talked about her son’s eye for fashion
‘He’ll put on any outfit and look swag as you know what
He wears my clothes and looks better in them.’
While talking to British Vogue in 2019
‘[He’s] the one I have the most in common with
I feel like he gets me; he has more of my DNA than any of my children so far.’
Last year, the singer notably faced a ‘near death’ health scare caused by a bacterial infection. In April on Instagram, she reflected on David and her five other children ‘saving’ her during the health crisis.
‘On the day before our 80th show of the Celebration Tour I need to acknowledge my incredibly talented children who carried me through this Journey each of them bringing their own unique talent to the stage,’ she penned
‘Rehearsals began over a year ago with almost a 2 month break waiting for me recover from a near death experience
They never stopped practicing… they never stopped cheering me on and supporting me.’
‘There enthusiasm kept me Going!!!’ she wrote of her children
‘They were also going to school and rehearsing every night
‘I think what my children learned the most this year of rehearsing and performing is that if you who to follow your dreams
Madonna – who is back to writing her biopic – concluded
‘And if all of them choose something different later in life
Banda 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
She’s dating a guy…That’s her life
She’ll do what she wants to do,’ David said
It comes shortly after Madonna posed for a snap with a hunky mystery man on Fourth of July.
Earlier this year in May, it was revealed that Madonna had split from boxer, Josh Popper, after one year of dating
‘Madonna has barely seen Josh for months because her schedule was so hectic. Things just fizzled out,’ a source told The Sun at the time
‘There is genuinely no bad blood – they’re still fond of each other
At the moment their relationship doesn’t feel feasible and they’ve cooled things off
David’s romance with model Maria Atuesta was revealed – with the pair reportedly beginning their relationship earlier this year
A separate source told The Sun
‘David and Maria are totally besotted with one another
She’s his first girlfriend and it’s really adorable.’
‘He’d been traveling with his mum all over the globe but was determined to make things work
so they kept in touch all the way through.’
‘Now that the tour’s over and they’ve been able to see each other again
it’s like they were never apart.’
David has shared photos of his girlfriend on his Instagram account
such as a snap as she flashed a cheerful smile towards the camera

She met the man who is now her husband when they were 18 years old during their first year of medical school at St Joseph’s University in Beirut
They moved to the United States after graduating in 2003
Her interest in diabetes began during the first year of residency while training at Cooper University Hospital in New Jersey
Azar participated in a research project focused on inpatient diabetes care in the ICU
Current clinical interests include diabetes & cardiometabolic health and endocrine conditions in pregnancy
Her road to Massachusetts was far from a direct path
After beginning an endocrinology fellowship at Penn State
she and her husband moved to Oklahoma because he got a job at Oklahoma University (OU)
That’s where she completed her fellowship training and met her mentor
a seasoned clinician scientist who worked extensively with the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)
where she would work for ten years. During that time she held several leadership positions
and Doris Eaton Travis Chair in Endocrinology
medical director of the Physicians Endocrinology and Diabetes Clinic
director of the Adult Clinical Services and Diabetes Education and Outreach at Harold Hamm Diabetes Center (HHDC)
Azar led projects that focused on diabetes education and outreach programs in the community
One such project consolidated clinical and research collaborations between the HHDC and the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations of Oklahoma
leading to increased awareness about the importance of screening for
diabetes early in pregnancy in high-risk indigenous women.
and their two daughters moved to Lebanon in 2019 to be with family. They wanted the children to experience and connect with their culture
The plan was to stay for a few years before moving to New England where her only sibling lives
She was hired as the Internal Medicine Program Director at Lebanese American University
Lebanon experienced a political revolution
an explosion caused by a large amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the Port of Beirut
“The blast occurred around six in the evening,” she said
I found shards of glass embedded on my desk and chair
I probably would have been killed or at least badly injured.”
In 2022 they decided to return to the United States
and knew they wanted to live and work in Massachusetts
“I fell in love with the UMass campus in Worcester during my first visit,” she said. “It has a similar feel to Oklahoma University
I had a good feeling right away.”
They enjoy spending time outdoors and appreciate the property they’re able to have living in Central MA “as opposed to living in a big city.”
Azar says some people are angry that they have diabetes or perhaps they’ve have had a bad experience with care in the past
and determine what will inspire them to improve their health
Then she can suggest small steps towards improving their situation
listened to their concerns to understand their goals
and suggested a plan with a few attainable changes that will help them
He agreed to start walking 30 minutes a day
Azar subscribes to the philosophy that small steps can result in big changes
“I give it to them in in bite-sized chunks
We add one small but sustainable change every visit
People must be engaged for it to be successful!”

I work on implementing new features that transform the ARCore experience into the Streem SDK
and improve the codebase,” she wrote on her Linkedin
“I Work closely with iOS and back-end engineers to discuss implementation detail and architecture.”
I have always been curious about how things work and inspired by women who have an impact
My tech journey began in 2011 after a friend brought me along to an Afro-Tech Summit
I felt excited to learn more about how planes worked or how they flew around
“What amazing technology,” I thought
It made me wish I was an Aeronautical Engineer
I started speaking with the IT department at my first job
I wanted to learn more about how they built websites and apps
The IT manager was very welcoming and introduced me to Java for the very first time
I got my first job at a software company building inventory systems and it was at that moment when I realized the value of my work.”Even when I faced challenges
one thing that really motivated me to stay in tech is having support from other women.”
one thing that really motivated me to stay in tech is having support from other women
I volunteer as a Lead for Women Who Code Mobile and the community has really been great and also propelled my growth
I have so many instances where another Black woman in tech has helped me in my career
a close friend of mine who works as a software engineer and tech philanthropist gave me an opportunity to participate in a panel
my one-line call for action is no sisters left behind
It is not easy but we can do it together with the right support
If I could go back in time and advise my younger self
My role model is my mentor because of the knowledge she shares with me
get involved with women groups that support women in tech
like Women Techmakers and Women Who Code to mention a few
This has really helped my career and growth as an Android Engineer

The good-natured motto of Elvis & Madona is “transvestites united will never be defeated”
which pretty gives you a good idea of the tone of the film….a playful - though painfully obvious - tale of mis-matched love
but the lead performances by Simone Spoladore and Igor Cotrim are engaging enough and it is breezy and frothy as writer/director Marcelo Laffitte tries to blend comedy
unlikely to get much play outside Brazil and a few niche festivals
Drag performer Madona (Igor Cotrim) – real name Adailton – is beaten up and robbed by Joao (Sergio Bazerra)
Elvis (Simone Spoladore) is a would-be photographer moonlighting as a motorcycle pizza delivery rider – she drops a pizza off at Madona’s flat and finds herself drawn to the larger-than-life performer
So before we know it the girl-favouring Elvis starts a sexual relationship with the usually man-favouring drag queen
which develops into a full-on relationship (Madona even tries to play the man for a dinner with her father) and even – yes
Simone Spoladore has a certain feisty charm as the pizza-delivering biker
and while Igor Cotrim is engaging as Madona
the actual drag performances are less than convincing

With tourism in Prague down over 90% this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic according to the Czech Statistical Office
businesses in the city's historical center that traditionally rely on tourists have been hit particularly hard
One of those venues is the cubist House of the Black Madonna on central Prague's Celetná street
an impressive early-20th century building designed by Josef Gočár that is now home to a cubist museum and cafe on its ground floor
The Černá Madona (Black Madonna) cafe has taken a darkly humorous approach to draw in new customers: by turning the deadly virus into a delicious cake
Created for the cafe by Olga Budnik earlier this year, during the first wave of the epidemic, the coronavirus cake has gone viral on social media over the past weeks along with the surge in COVID-19 infections in the Czech Republic
The Prague venue now requests that patrons in groups of three or more book the dessert in advance if they'd like to try it
so the cafe can ensure they have enough coronavirus particles on hand
pokud přijdete ve skupince tří a více lidí na náš Virus dezert
“I found a photo of the virus on the internet and I figured out in detail how to make the dessert – how to make the spikes, what the color would be like, and I prepared it all,” Budnik recently told Reuters
Those glycoprotein spikes on the dessert are made from dried raspberries and attached to a hard chocolate shell
Inside the coronavirus particle is a pistachio ganache and raspberry puree
“The coronavirus crisis has meant a huge drop for us
like for other gastro enterprises,” the Černá Madona's marketing manager
“But at the same time it was a chance to bring out the coronavirus cake which is a symbol … showing that not everything is lost.”
While the coronavirus-shaped dessert may prove distasteful for some given the current COVID-19 epidemic in the Czech Republic
the country's sweets have a history with darkly humorous connotations
Other traditional Czech desserts include věnečky
Your morning coffee deserves a great companion. Why not enjoy it with our daily newsletter? News from Czechia, curated insights, and inspiring stories in English.
Last autumn, Prague's Černá Madona (Black Madonna) cafe became a hit online with their timely new dessert, a cake in the shape of a coronavirus molecule
The vaccine dessert has been launched by the cafe at a time when the Czech Republic is pushing to administer up to 100,000 actual COVID-19 vaccines per day within the next month
Black Madonna's new vaccine dessert is made from sponge cake base
While the base of the dessert can be enjoyed by all ages
it's topped off with a vaccine capsule that contains a splash of strawberry gin for adults
In comparison, Black Madonna's coronavirus dessert is made from a hard chocolate shell
dusted with cocoa powder and dried raspberries
and filled with a pistachio ganache and raspberry puree
the cafe stated that while customers suggested they make a wreath or coffin-shaped cake (traditional Czech desserts include věnečky
they wanted to stay positive and encourage people to get vaccinated
Prague's Black Madonna cafe is located in the center of the Czech capital at the House at the Black Madonna
a cubist building and tourist attraction that is also home to the Czech Museum of Cubism

Given current restrictions on freedom of movement in the Czech Republic, you don't need to venture into central Prague to get your hands on the vaccine cake. Černá Madona's desserts are also available on delivery services including Bolt, Wolt and Dáme jidlo
The vaccine cake and the coronavirus dessert both go for 149 crowns
If you want to give the vaccine cake as a gift, the cafe has also launched a website where users can create a special "vaccine certificate."

She put the abstract painting on display during a special dinner at Sotheby’s auction house in New York last week (ends03May14) to drum up interest in the lot
which supports girls’ education in Afghanistan
Pakistan and other countries will benefit from the sales however it was not immediately known who purchased the abstract painting
Madonna earlier in April said that she bought the painting in 1990 and that selling it would combine her passions for art and education by raising funds for the Ray of Light Foundation
“I cannot accept a world where women or girls are wounded
shot or killed for either going to school or teaching in girls’ schools
We don’t have time to be complacent,” she said following a statement
“I want to trade something valuable for something invaluable – Educating Girls!”
shot or killed for either going to school or teaching in girls’ schools.”
The singer has previously focused her charity efforts on building schools in Malawi – where her two adopted children were born – through her Raising Malawi organisation

which the paper published both in Hebrew and in the original - and apparently unedited - English
'Life no longer seemed like a series of Random events,' she writes
'I also began to see that being Rich and Famous wasn't going to bring me lasting fulfillment and that it was not the end of the journey.'
The Kabbalah Center's devotees have included other celebrities such as Demi Moore
Many mainstream Jewish scholars see the Center's self-help teachings

Some rabbis were particularly incensed by Madonna's song
'Isaac,' about the revered 16th-century Kabbalist Rabbi Isaac Luria

Nate Hollander is taking the singer to court over her late start times
Hollander filed a lawsuit Monday in Miami-Dade County court against both Live Nation and Madonna. He alleges that the change in start times for her Madame X Touris a breach of contract made between the singer and the ticket buyer
who bought tickets and now don't want to attend a concert that late
And attempts to resell won't make up for the money lost
as tickets have now "suffered an extreme loss of value" because of the time change
That makes reselling "impossible," he said
Hollander originally bought three tickets to Madonna's Miami Beach show
since the show is now starting later than originally planned
he claims that he and other ticket holders "suffered actual and consequential damages including
loss of consideration paid and the devaluation of the ticket."
CNN has reached out to Madonna and Live Nation via email and voicemail
but requests for comment have not been returned
