“But through it all your curiosity, and Artistic Soul has been the glue that held us together.
Thank God for Art.”
While his life might sound charmed on paper, things haven’t always been easy for Madonna’s son.

“Madonna lost a lot of blood,” a hospital source shared with theBBC.
“For any mother, just seeing that amount of blood is terrifying.”
He weighed in at 5 pounds, 9 ounces.

“She is safe, as is little Rocco,” Rosenberg continued.
“Guy and Lourdes are by her side.”
Evidently, she could be a little tough.

When DeGeneres suggested Madonna might be “strict,” he replied, “She’s a good mother.
That’s all I have to say.
“The list of things I wasn’t allowed to do is never-ending,” she said.

“My mom is such a control freak, and she has controlled me my whole life.”
Evidently, Rocco grew frustrated with his mother’s rules when he was a teen.
“When he stays with his father .

Rocco is allowed to play guitar until the early hours of the morning.
“We’ve got a little worse of a problem on our hands here guys.
We don’t need more negative a** holes here.”

Rocco deleted the video in the wake of the backlash.
“I applaud my son’s desire to express his outrage by posting footage of ISIS on Instagram.
Humans are becoming numb to this violent imagery,” Madonna wrote.

“He is saying our problems are nothing compared to whats going on around the world.
Freedom Fighting is in his blood.
Lets pray for PEACE!”

Apparently, Madonna’s Instagram content became a serious issue for Rocco Ritchie.
So much so, he reportedly blocked her.
Whispers regarding Rocco’s negative feelings regarding Madge’s IG account had been simmering for some time.

Later that year, theDaily Mailreported that Rocco didn’t want to spend Christmas with his mom.
A few years later, Rocco was ready to hit the road with Madonna again.
However, his time on the Rebel Heart Tour would be cut short.

“M and Rocco were having bad shouting matches.
She’d be crying and yelling at him,” the source claimed toRadarOnline.
According to unnamed sources, Rocco apparently did not like the way things were going this time around.

However, Madonna was not cool with this.
The 15-year-old was not eager to oblige.
However, even after a judge ordered Rocco go with Madonna, Guy Ritchie’s team fought this decision.
The entire legal battle was said to be incredibly hard on Rocco Ritchie.
“It’s been a very difficult time for him,” Sigal said, as reported by theBBC.
Madonna and Guy reached a deal in September 2016, and Rocco continued to live in London.
Because this was a smaller offense, Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s son did not face criminal charges.
Madonna stood by Rocco through all of it.
“I love my son very much,” the pop star told theAP.
While his mom took the matter seriously, Rocco’s pals apparently weren’t too rattled by it.
“Everyone thinks the Rocco thing is hilarious.
He’s in trouble after bunning,” a source claimed toThe Mirror.
“His friends have been joking about #freerocco since the news came out.”
According to the unnamed sources, Rocco was not a bad or mischievous kid.
Rather, these unnamed sources were quick to place the blame on his friend group.
“He goes to a school nearby here for wealthy children who are maybe not as intellectual ….
I wouldn’t want to get him in trouble.”
The cannabis arrest wasn’t the only drama.
“Around the time he was arrested I used to see him in the local pub.
Evidently, all the chatter didn’t slow him down from hitting the pubs underage.
“That is why it was kept a secret since Saturday.
Everyone believed that we may lose her and that has been the reality of the situation.”
Understandably, the two boys looked solemn as they made their way up to their mom’s home.
Thankfully, the singer would make a full recovery.
But when the chips were down my children really showed up for me.
I saw a side to them I had never seen before.
It made all the difference,” she wrote onInstagram.
So, in 2018 he began creating art under the pseudonym “Rhed.”
He found some success straight away.
“I wanted to develop technically before showing under my name.”
In 2021,Page Sixrevealed Rhed’s true identity, and the backlash poured in.
“His paintings are clumsy adolescent efforts with no sign of originality or vigour,” he wrote.
Despite the negative press, Rocco’s kept at his art.
In 2024, Madonna posted some snaps she took at one of his shows.
“So Proud,” she wrote onInstagram.
