The kids were so excited to receive their new kicks, many were screaming with happiness and started dancing the second they put them on their feet.
As the Ugandan children were dancing and interacting with the Wests, Kanye’s new song “We Got Love” blasted in the background from a speaker.
Museveni then gave the couple a gift of his own: Ugandan names.
Neither West nor his wife have yet to comment publicly on the meeting, but Museveni had nothing but kind words for the famous couples.
“I welcome American entertainment starsKanye Westand @KimKardashian to Uganda.I held fruitful discussions with the duoon how to promote Uganda’s tourism and the arts,” he wrote on his official Twitter page, alongside photos of the couple from their visit.

“They met with the President of Uganda and the president asked Kim why she had to leave early, she replied that she had to go back to work,” a source told PEOPLE.
