David Banda Has A Brother From Another Mother
Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie’s 2-year-old adopted son, David, became a big brother when his birth father, Yohane, and his now wife, Flora, welcomed a new son on July 20.
In Touch has the exclusive pictures, which can be seen below.
“It’s too early to say if he looks like David,” says Yohane, who wants the two brothers to meet.
“I’m confident they will,” he reveals. “It’s my duty as their father to make sure they know about each other and respect and help each other.”
Yohane hasn’t named his new son yet. But talk about milking it!

If Madonna adopted David, then why is that child always referred to as “David Banda” and not “David Richie”? Jolie-Pitt’s kids all take their last names.
#26, I think the reason why they still refer to David as David Banda is because that’s how they were introduced to him, so that’s how they’ll always refer to him. Madonna should have done what Jolie-Pitt did, which was to rename the baby totally, right away, and, therefore, that’s the only name the press would know.
I think it’s disgraceful how the media is still “reporting” on this man. He gave his son up for adoption to another family. He’s not a celebrity. I suspect they will follow him, and baby David for the next 18 years, and then try to orchestrate a reunion. I’m surprised the paps haven’t flown him to England by now and planted him on Madonna’s doorstep.
Another thing Madonna should have done, and not trying to be morbid here, but to make sure the child she adopted was a true orphan (both parents deceased). Because now you’ll have the dad, and his brother, and I’m sure the father will have other kids, coming after David when he’s older and probably making demands for money.
Why would these two have another child? They gave the first one up because they couldn’t afford him. Now they’re having another kid? *rolls eyes*
Someone get them some birth control ASAP.
I also like how the guy made sure to add “help” to the list of things he hopes the siblings will do for one another. I’m sure by help he meant uuuum… money.
Paige did you even bother to read the previous posts — take a look at #25
Whats all this tight fistedness with other people’s money. madonna corrupted millions of children over the course of her career and made millions of them — so now she has an adopted son who comes from and extremely poverty stricken background. In the large scheme of things who knows whether or not these two families came to gether for such a time as this - so Madonna with her ill gotten gains can help out another family and entire village - now that would wash that money a little - and do a lot of good while only being a drop in the bucket to her.
I’m not even bothering to read the comment before me–I don’t want to lose this livid feeling I have. I am disgusted that this man would continue to procreate. He hopes these brothers help each other out? Oh boy, I bet he does. OK, I should shut up now.
first of all madonna can stay her butt out of africa, she should have given them money if she so called wanted to help out instead of taking this boy away from his heritage… obviously it is hard for them over there but aint nothing like your own heritage ,, what can this bit*h teach him about his heritage!
Probably what happened was that he just wanted the world to know
DAVID has a sibling.. And because he can’t speak english that
Intouch got the idea to do this…
I wonder will he sell this one two?
Ok no matter what or who was conned into anything, I do have to say that this child has a way better life now then he would in that 3rd world country.
I just wan this child to be taken care of. Isnt always in the best interest of the child?
bobbi, it does not speak well of you to talk (that harsh!) about something you do not have information about.
Oh, yeah, poor David. He has to be raised in mansions instead of in poverty. Someone call CPS.
OMG! THAT’S MY BIRTHDAY!

*************
David’s mother did not have aids, and neither does his father. David’s mother died of complications of child birth.
What was the purpose of this story? Let’s have another poor little ghetto child born. ( as the Elvis song goes ) So when HIV hits, and other horrible diaseses that they cannot afford to medicate, who is going to take this child and the other children. The parents act so proud that they accomplished this and have maybe in the process have become celebrities in their own right where they live. Were they paid for this story and the privelege of having their picture taking? How sad that this continues. I’m glad that Madonna snatched David form this terrible plight even though Guy had his doubts.
having a child in a thirld world country is different than having one in the western world. to them, children simply are their pension plan.
and interesting thing, the birth rate is highest in countries where there is war. you would think oh how stupid would that be to make babies in such inhuman conditions, but as harsh as it sounds, as there are people dying on the battle field, they just need human supplies.
you can`t compare their lives with ours
Milking it? Wow!!! Maybe he can now feed his family, or buy clean water for them, or put a proper roof over their heads. It’s an utter shame that he probably will never even see the article written about him. I’m sure that he MUST spend ALL of his free time (when he isn’t just trying to survive starvation and diseases) contemplating his next move with the paparazzi. Wow!! Maybe the author of the “milking it” comment would rather trade places with Yohane for about a month since he (Yohane) is being so enriched by all of this attention…
I’m with Betsy

You couldn’t take care of David now you decide to have another child? Will you be able to take care of this one? If you could afford a child why not get David back?”
¬¬’
floresene … you are so right, this world is so upside down and they always want to talk bad about black folks and dont talk bad about these useless, worthless, so called hollywood stars…that do nothing but shop and tan to be brown and show they fake boobs and fake lips and spend money while the economy is effed up!
Well, if anyone’s gonna milk the fcat that they had a child, let it be this guy who is far from rich, and not the “celebrities” who are already swimming in money, I’d say.
