Kim Kardashian and her then-husband Kanye West went on a trip to Uganda in 2018, where they met President Yoweri Museveni.

A new biography on Kim Kardashian titled Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created The Future just came out, authored by Jonathan Van Meter. In it, Van Meter talks about the "point of no return" for her marriage with Kanye West, with a Keeping Up With The Kardashians executive producer claiming he started to see the signs during the couple's 2018 Uganda trip.

According to PEOPLE, executive producer Farnaz Farjam spoke about this trip with the biography's author. "They were shooting at a remote location in Uganda when Kanye became paranoid and agitated. ‘He basically got the local police to believe that there were people trying to drug him and so they came and they had guns out. He had them raid everybody’s rooms,’" the book claims.

Allegedly, "one of the policemen had a gun to Kim’s head" during the alleged raid. Farnaz said Kim reacted to the "intense" situation by "having to get a private jet and get my crew out of there." The producer also said he "forgave Kanye for the Africa fiasco ‘because he lives with bipolar disorder and he was in a manic place.'"

This Uganda trip was two years after the Kim Kardashian Paris robbery, which changed her view on security and celebrity status. A court convicted eight individuals in May of last year.

Elsewhere, Kim Kardashian spoke on the Kanye West relationship in Citizen Kim. "I worry about him all day," she reportedly expressed. "That’s the father of my kids. I’ll never not worry about him. And that’s a big burden of having kids with someone who you don’t necessarily get along with. My kids would never know that... We manage to coparent without too much conflict."

Sadly, Kim Kardashian continues to face dangerous situations, and hopefully a recent incident at her Hidden Hills estate with an alleged burglar is the last scare she faces. Citizen Kim seems full of anecdotes and revelations like these, documenting a long and varied public image that keeps growing. We'll see if there are any responses or further clarifications in the future about this alleged Uganda incident in particular.
