Pop diva Madonna has gotten herself in some more controversy surrounding the adoption of her Malawian child. Do these reports ever end? In the latest allegations the pop diva is reportedly paying the university tuition fees of a Malawian government official whose colleagues aided her in adopting baby David Banda last year.

Madonna and her hubby Guy Ritchie are allegedly sponsoring civil servant Willard Manjolo at Swansea University in Wales, where he is studying for a degree in social work, writes British newspaper the Daily Mirror. Madonna agreed to fund his studies in June, four months before she brought David from Malawi to the UK leading to speculation Manjolo could have used his position to influence the adoption process. However, the 40-year-old dismisses the suggestion and suggests, "The child is being given an opportunity."
