London, Nov 16 Madonna was warned not to take toyboy lover Jesus Luz to Malawi, because the age gap between the two could upset her African hosts.

And thus Madonna, 51, told Jesus that he could not watch work starting on the singer's academy for girls.

Jesus, 22, was devastated on hearing the bad news.

"Their difference in age could have embarrassed some people there," the Daily Star quoted a source as saying. (ANI)
