The president gave a copy of his autobiography, ‘Sowing the Mustard Seeds’ to Mrs. West whiles he received an autographed pair of white sneakers from Mr. West.
I welcome American entertainment stars Kanye West and @KimKardashian to Uganda. I held fruitful discussions with the duo on how to promote Uganda’s tourism and the arts. I thank Kanye for the gift of white sneakers. Enjoy your time in Uganda. It is the true Pearl of Africa, the president wrote on Twitter.
