Madonna has shared a photo of her son David Banda wearing traditional Malawi robes, standing beside a picture of his biological parents. The singer adopted David as a baby back in 2006 and this new picture shows David, who is now 11, wearing a green, purple and white patterned native robe and a gold chain. He can be seen standing next to a family photograph of his mother Madonna and birth parents. Madonna captioned the photo: “Be proud of who you are and where you come from!” The star's 9.4 million Instagram followers loved the snap of her son in his native robes.
Fans of the 58-year-old popstar were quick to comment on the sweet picture, with one writing: “It's so cool that you've taught your kids to keep in touch with their roots. Amen to that.” A second follower told the star: “World family, awesome. I love you guys so much!” While another said: “Love that you keep your children's heritage close to them. Good mom.” There was more praise for the singer, as a fan posted: “This is amazing, made me so happy to see this. David looks so handsome. Think Madonna has done a great job!”
