David Banda celebrated turning 18 in style with a birthday bash that looked lit! While many of us may have celebrated with a night out at the local night club, David's celebratory style was far more befitting of a megastar.
The Queen of Pop, Madonna, shared videos from the night on her social media. Soundtracked with Michael Jackson's 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', the clips showed David looking dapper in a white and black suit, blowing a kiss to the camera and pulling off some impressive dance moves.
The venue was swish and the atmosphere was electric, with a city backdrop of skyscrapers and an array of balloons, flowers and tunes. The crowd sang David's praises as he was presented with a birthday cake decorated with a picture of himself.
In her caption, Madonna wrote, "Happy 18th Birthday David Banda! Tribal Name -Senzangakona- Descendant of the Ngoni And Zulu Tribes!" She went on to express her pride for her adopted son, saying, "It is impossible to believe that almost 18 years have gone by since we met you in Mchinji at Home of Hope Orphanage! 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!"
Madonna adopted David from Malawi in 2006 when he was 13 months old, making him her third of six children. Lourdes Leon, 26, Rocco Ritchie, 23, Mercy James, 17, and Estere and Stella, 11, are the singer's other adopted children.
In a previous interview with People, Madonna opened up about her adoption journey, saying, "Sometimes I would just close my eyes and just think, “Why isn’t my kitchen filled with dancing children?” There’s so many children that need a home." And on her connection with her children, she added, "It’s inexplicable. It’s like saying, “Why do you fall in love with the people you fall in love with?” You look into the eyes of somebody, you feel their soul, you feel touched by them — that’s it."
It's clear to see that Madonna cherishes her bond with David, and was delighted to share his special day with him. As a proud mother, she probably couldn't have wished for a better birthday for him. Here's to many more!
