Kim and Kanye both signed the president’s sneakers before he gave Kanye an honorary Ugandan name “Kanyesigye” which reportedly means “trust”.

The Wests are vacationing in a national park where Kanye is said to be recording music after promising to come to Africa to complete his next project which he revealed will be titled “Yandhi”.

He is also getting his introduction to some of the continent’s best artists.
