Kim Kardashian was allegedly held at gunpoint during a tense 2018 trip to Uganda with her then-husband, rapper Kanye West, according to a new biography that sheds light on the couple’s troubled relationship.
The incident is detailed in Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future, a biography written by journalist Jonathan Van Meter and released on October 27, 2026. The book describes growing tensions between the former couple during their visit to Africa.
Farnaz Farjam, executive producer of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, recalled the frightening episode while speaking to the author. According to her account, the production team was filming at a remote location in Uganda when Kanye allegedly became increasingly suspicious and agitated.
Farjam said the rapper reportedly convinced local police that people were attempting to drug him. Police then arrived with firearms and searched the rooms occupied by members of the group.
The situation allegedly escalated when an officer pointed a gun at Kim Kardashian’s head. Farjam reportedly described the experience as intense and said she eventually arranged a private jet to evacuate her crew from the location.
The account presents the incident as one of several moments that raised concerns about the state of Kim and Kanye’s marriage. According to the book, October 2018 marked a particularly difficult period for the couple, with their relationship reportedly approaching a breaking point.
Kim and Kanye, who share four children, finalised their divorce in November 2022. Kim filed for divorce in February 2021, ending their marriage after years of public attention and reported relationship struggles.
The biography does not include an interview with Kanye. Van Meter reportedly said he had concerns about whether interviewing the rapper would be ethical given questions surrounding his mental health.
The allegations about the Uganda incident are based on the accounts presented in the book and have not been independently verified.
