The biological father of Madonna’s adopted son David Banda is worried about the well-being of his child, following her public fallout with the other son Rocco. Recent strain of her bitter custody battle with ex-husband Guy Ritchie over their son Rocco has stirred up Madonna’s erratic behaviour on stage.
Yohane Banda, who gave David up for adoption in 2006, is furious that his child has been caught in the crossfire between Madonna and Guy. It follows The Sun’s recent report that Madonna blocked David’s visit to London over Easter for fear he wouldn’t return to New York, like his brother Rocco.
In an exclusive interview from the remote village of Chipunga, Yohane said: “Madonna and Guy’s custody battle turning bitter and nasty is a huge concern.”
“I’d like to know what’s going on behind closed doors and why Rocco wanted to leave his mum and live with his dad like that. What I have heard about Madonna’s lifestyle since her divorce from Guy sounds quite shocking. Her having much younger boyfriends isn’t in line with Malawian culture at all. David would not be exposed to that sort of thing here. It’s not how we live. We have strong family values. Turmoil over her family crept into the latter stages of Madonna’s Rebel Heart world tour, which was dogged by controversy.
