American rapper, Kanye West, recently rechristened Ye arrived in Uganda to record the concluding part of his upcoming Yandhi album.
He arrived in Uganda along with his wife, Kim Kardarshian West and their daughter North West. He has since met with President Yoweri Museveni today at State House.
In a video announcing his trip last week, Kanye said: “… we are going into the deep sea’, we haven’t seen 90% of our world. We are going to Africa -Uganda.”
Where Team Kanye is based
Team Kanye is based at the Chobe Lodge Murchison National Park located in northern Uganda. Reports indicate that the park is under lockdown and security remains very high.
A photo and video of a rapping Kanye wrapped in the Ugandan flag has since been widely shared across social
Okay, so Kanye West is finally in Uganda! The national park is on lockdown, studios have been built in the game park wilderness and Incase you’re hoping on a selfie or sighting … Forget it… Security detail is very VERY tight.

The flags were already out because the Cranes of Uganda were involved in a cup of nations qualifier against Lesotho. The team beat the visiting team by three unanswered goals.
Studio built in middle of the park
According to an entertainment site, Track House, a huge tent studio had been built in the park for the team to work in.

When Kanye announced his tour
In an interview with popular entertainment site TMZ last week, Kanye said he needed to “go and grab the soil” so that his fans can “hear nature while we’re recording.”
