Maybe Madonna isn’t such a heartless witch after all. In an interview that will air both on the Today show and Dateline NBC Wednesday, Madonna tells Meredith Vieira more details about her recent adoption of baby David. The most interesting fact that she reveals is that David’s father turned down her offer of financial aid to help raise his son.

Interview excerpt from People:
“When I met (Yohane), I said I would be happy to … to bring (David) back to your village and help you financially raise him,” the singer tells Vieira in the interview. “And he said no … I think he truly felt in his heart of hearts that – and who knows if he was telling me the truth – that he would have a better life with me. So, when he said no, that was my sign that it was my responsibility to look after him.” 

Tune in Wednesday for more juicy details.
