During the visit, Ye and his wife Kim gifted Museveni with a pair of his Yeezy branded sneakers.
The couple was accompanied to Uganda by their five-year-old daughter North West.
They are said to be based at the Chobe Lodge at the Murchison National Park, located in northern Uganda.
Reports indicate that the park is under lockdown and security remains very high.
