Madonna posted a video on Instagram in which she does the "Mannequin challenge" with her adopted children. Rocco commented: "So glad I don't live there anymore." And a few days earlier, in London, hemp was found in his backpack after neighbors reported him to the police.
But who is Rocco Richie? What do we know about him?
Who is this?
Rocco Richie is the son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie. Born August 11, 2000 in Los Angeles. Since his father is British, the guy has dual citizenship - the US and the UK.
Rocco has an older sister, Lourdes (daughter of Madonna and actor Carlos Leon), a brother, David (adopted by Madonna and Guy Ritchie in 2006), and a sister, Mercy James, whom Madonna adopted in 2009 after her divorce from Guy Ritchie.
He also has brothers Raphael and Levi, sister Rivka is the children of Guy Ritchie and Jackie Ainsley.
Rocco was baptized at Dornoch Cathedral in Scotland on December 21, 2000, and the nextday at Skibo Castle his parents got married. However, they divorced already in December 2008.
Where did Rocco grow up?
Rocco Richie grew up in New York, Los Angeles and London. Having famous parents, he experienced all the delights of a celebrity life: private school education, first class travel, designer clothes.
Rocco traveled all over the world with his mother: on tours with Madonna, he saw a beautiful life, and on trips related to charity, he visited third world countries, where he got acquainted with a life of hard and poor.
The guy prefers to keep his personal life a secret, away from the cameras, which, apparently, approves of his father, with whom Rocco Richie now lives in London.
Does Rocco have famous friends?
The guy is friends with the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, Brooklyn. They are often spotted at the London Skate Park and cafes.
He is also friends with Anais, daughter of Noel Gallagher and Meg Matthews.
Who has custody of Rocco?
2016 was a tough year for the boy as his parents fought a long and hard fight for his custody. It started back in late 2015 when Rocco abandoned Madonna's Rebel Hearts tour and fled to London. He spent Christmas with his father, and in January refused to comply with his mother's demands (and violated a court order) to leave his father's house in London, fly to New York to live with her and return to school.
But he refused and, according to sources, he prefers a laid-back life in London with his father and his wife, plus he has a girlfriend and friends here. There are also opinions that the guy is sometimes embarrassed and annoyed by the sometimes overly frank entries and jokes on him that Madonna writes on social networks.
In September 2016, Guy Ritchie received custody of his son, and now Rocco lives permanently in London.
Did Rocco inherit Madonna's rebellious spirit?
During the quarrel with his mother, the guy clearly expressed his feelings by writing about it on Instagram.
In February, he was seen smoking suspicious-looking cigarettes at a London skate park.
Then in April he was photographed drinking and smoking under a bridge, and in September he was arrested for possession of cannabis.
