“It is impossible to believe that almost 18 years have gone by since We met you in Mchinji at Home of Hope Orphanage!” she continued. “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! ♥️🇲🇼,” she finished. “You light up like the brightest star! ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Madonna was clearly enjoying herself at the party as she danced with guests — including her boxing coach boyfriend Josh Popper, 30 — and gave David a big hug as he was presented his birthday cake.
The singer has a lot to celebrate these days, as her tour is set to start after being delayed for health complications. The singer recently announced that her tour will be kicking off in the UK, after she was hospitalized for a bacterial infection.
The North American leg of the tour, which was supposed to occur first, will now be performed after the European segment of her performances. The tour will come to Brooklyn on December 13th before taking off for the rest of North America.
