THE strain of her bitter custody battle with ex-husband Guy Ritchie over their son Rocco has sparked Madonna’s erratic behaviour on stage.
Now, to add to her stress, the biological father of her other son, David Banda, is suggesting the Malawian would be better off living in poverty rather than with the Queen of Pop, The Sun reports.
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.“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.
“Although we live a simple life, there’s never things like huge arguments between the parents at home. Everyone is happy and smiling and laughing all the time.
But should his son not return to Malawi, the peasant farmer would choose for him to remain with Madonna rather than Guy — who he claims “wasn’t interested” in adopting him in the first place.
Yohane said: “My understanding is that it is Madonna who took my son, so I do not expect that to change.
“I don’t want David to follow Rocco’s decision to go and live with Guy now either. I never got the impression that Guy was interested in adopting David.
“It was Madonna who wanted to take David to live with her.
“The only reason I let Madonna adopt David was because she promised me she would give him a good education and then he could come home to live with me.
“Guy never showed he had any interest in David when I met him in court.
