Proceeds (royalties) from the song will go towards the completion of the underfunded Suubi Center maternity and children's health centre in the eastern part of Uganda.

The rapper told CNN in an interview that he felt obligated to help when he first visited the East African nation last year.

"Me coming from Morocco in North Africa, I feel like it should be a soft spot for anyone that has a mother or a child. I think that's got to be one of the worst things, not having the right healthcare. When I went to Uganda I felt obligated to [help]."

"I feel like every woman and child deserves the right healthcare. It shouldn't be a privilege it should be a right," Montana said.

A total of $500,000 has so far been raised for Suubi Center since the "unforgettable healthcare campaign" in 2017.

The multi-award winning rapper premiered the music video for "Famous (remix)" and it features the Triplets Ghetto Kids from Uganda.

"They are like my sons, my daughters, They've got a big spot in my heart ... and I just feel proud of them. They killed it, they danced, they did the choreography," Montana told CNN in an exclusive interview on Thursday.
