Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West gifted the President of Uganda a pair of Yeezys

The President of Uganda tweeted: "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 (sic)"

Kim and Kanye have travelled with their five-year-old daughter North West but are believed to have left two-year-old Saint and nine-month-old Chicago at home.

The 'Golddigger' hitmaker surprised fans when he posted an impromptu performance from Uganda on his Twitter account over the weekend.

The controversial rap star returned to the micro-blogging platform over the weekend and has now posted a lengthy video of himself rapping while wrapped in the Ugandan flag.

Kanye captioned the video "Spaceship call earth 3 Uganda Domes. (sic)"

In the video, the 'Famous' hitmaker quoted a line from the iconic rap group EPMD, saying: "Relax your mind / Let your conscious be free."

He continued: "No matter what they say / I'ma still be me / We're free / We're free."

The chart-topping rapper also delivered some freestyle verses and revealed he was going to "Africa" to hear "nature" whilst he was in the studio.

He said: "We have to go to what is known as Africa.

"I just need to go and find out what it's really called and grab the soil and cook five meals a day so the metabolism stays up and have my kids in the studio and have my mic in the open, so you can hear nature while we're recording."
