KANYE TAKES HIS ACT TO UGANDA
KAMPALA, UGANDA Kanye West has met with Uganda’s president during a visit to the East African nation and given the 74-yearold leader a pair of white sneakers.
President Yoweri Museveni said he and the American rapper held “fruitful discussions” Monday about promoting tourism and arts. West and his wife, reality TV star Kim Kardashian West, have been vacationing in a national park in Uganda. He is said to be recording music in a tent.
Uganda’s government released photos of a hoodie-wearing West meeting Museveni at the State House and exchanging gifts.
While tourism officials see the visit as an endorsement of the country’s tourism potential, some Ugandans wryly pointed out that Museveni cracked down on hoodies earlier this year when he announced that motorcycle riders could no longer wear them in a bid to fight rising crime.
