There have been calls to block entry into Australia for “hatemonger” Kanye West amid reports he’s planning a trip Down Under with his new wife.

After stunning fans with a whirlwind wedding to Australian architect Bianca Censori earlier this month, the rapper — who now goes by Ye — is believed to be heading to Melbourne to meet her family.

The Herald Sun reports the new couple will spend time in Ivanhoe, east of the CBD, where Censori grew up.

The 27-year-old, who works as an architectural designer at West’s company, Yeezy, shot to fame after secretly tying the knot with the former presidential candidate two weeks ago at a ritzy resort in Utah.

The pair sparked romance rumours after West was spotted wearing a wedding band.

But shortly after it was revealed West could soon be arriving in Australia, the head of Australia’s leading civil rights organisation issued a statement urging authorities to block his entry.

“Calling for violence and hate must have consequences, and Australia should not put out the welcome mat and provide a platform to a hatemonger who spews threats against the Jewish community and peddles conspiracy myths about Jewish power, greed and control,” Dr Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission, told news.com.au in a statement.

“Kanye is a blatant, unvarnished antisemite, Nazi-lover and Hitler worshipper who openly admires an evil tyrant responsible for the extermination of six million Jews, including 1.5 million children.

“This kind of rhetoric is dangerous and has real-world consequences given the more than 30 million followers that this person has, and who may start believing that his demonisation of the Jewish community and that they must act. Allowing Kanye into Australia would also send the wrong signal about our nation and violate our core values of tolerance, diversity and respect.

“At a time of rising antisemitism in Australia and increasing vilification, his presence in the country, revolting anti-Jewish propaganda and incitement, and abhorrent rhetoric poses a significant risk to the Jewish community. On the basis of his record of demonisation of the Jewish people (’death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE) we urge Minister Giles to use his powers under section 501 of The Migration Act and refuse Kanye entry.”

West had his Twitter account suspended (again) late last year after a scuffle with new owner Elon Musk over his anti-Semitic remarks in an InfoWars interview.

Just days earlier, the superstar rapper had praised Adolf Hitler and unleashed on the Jewish community while wearing a black hood that covered his face and head during a bizarre appearance with InfoWars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

The report of his impending visit to Australia comes two months after West, 45, finalised his divorce from Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children.

Censori has worked as an architectural designer for West’s company Yeezy since November 2020, per her LinkedIn page.

Before working with West, Censori studied at the University of Melbourne until she graduated with a bachelor of architecture in 2017. She returned to her studies to get her master of architecture from 2019 to 2020.

While Kim Kardashian has remained tight-lipped on her ex’s surprise new wife in public, sources say behind the scenes, the reality star is “concerned”.

One of the issues the family is worried about, the source toldPage Six, is how West’s new bride would figure into his kids’ lives.

“The family isn’t taking this as a marriage yet,” a source said. “They don’t know what it is.”

Kardashian, 42, recently cried over the struggles of co-parenting with West in a candid podcast interview, explaining that she tries to shield her children from their father’s controversial behaviour.

Responding to the unexpected nuptials, Kim told followers on Instagram last week: “I’m really in my quiet girl era, I don’t have much to say. Just much to do.”

However, Page Six has previously reported that Kardashian “has long despised” Censori.

“Kim hates her,” the insider said last week.

The family are reportedly waiting to see if West — who has been condemned by celebrities and dropped from several contracts over a string of recent anti-Semitic outbursts — will file official marriage papers confirming the union.

Kardashian and West split in February 2021, and the pair share four children, North, Chicago, Psalm and Saint.

Meanwhile, Censori’s family are said to be thrilled about the union, with her sister saying it was a “very exciting” time for the family.

“It’s very exciting news for both my sister and the family, but we choose to have some privacy for the time being,” Angelina Censori said.

Relative Alyssia Censori added the family was “super happy for them both.”
