There have been calls to block him from entering Australia, but if some questionable eyewitness accounts are to be believed, Kanye West is already Down Under.

There have been multiple unconfirmed 'sightings' of the rapper known as Ye in Melbourne in recent days, following reports he is due to fly to the Victorian capital in the coming weeks to visit the family of his new 'wife' Bianca Censori.

Several Melburnians have taken to TikTok to claim they saw the controversial hip-hop mogul, 45, at a popular Lebanese bakery.

A TikToker known as Deanna alleged the Donda musician visited A1 Bakery in Brunswick earlier this week.

'Of all places Kanye could be in Melbourne. Not Crown, not Nobu, but A1 Bakery,' she claimed.

Daniel Raji, an employee of A1 Bakery has since denied Kanye ever visited the venue.

Mr Raji said on the Today show on Tuesday he was baffled when customers began calling and asking if Kanye had been there.

'I just thought was so funny,' he told hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo. 'I started getting calls from friends and family... I honestly must have missed something.'

'But it wasn't true!' he laughed.

Many fans agreed the prank sightings were hilarious, leading to even wilder rumours Kanye also visited a Red Rooster and Aldi supermarket.

'Kanye West is in Melbourne and was at A1 Bakery in Brunswick. I don't know why but that took me out,' one Melburnian tweeted. 

'Kanye at A1 Bakery in Brunswick getting manoush?' another asked.

'Kanye in Melbourne visiting A1 Bakery?! Why is this so funny to me,' a third wrote.

'Just saw him ordering at the drive thru of Red Rooster,' one local joked.

'Saw him at Aldi in the middle aisle,' said another, while one prankster even said he was at the viral 'Fitzroy garage party'.

Kanye and his new wife Bianca Censori, 27, are set to come to Australia soon, and are expected to spend time in Ivanhoe, east of the CBD, where she grew up.

But the Anti-Defamation Commission is lobbying for Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to block entry to the rapper, deriding him as a 'hatemonger who spews threats against the Jewish community'.

The Anti-Defamation Commission, in calling for Ye's visa to be blocked, pointed to a previous tweet from the rapper saying he would go 'death con 3 on Jewish people'.

The commission noted Ye in an October interview repeatedly blamed 'Jewish media' and stated the community would, 'especially in the music industry ... take us and milk us till we die'.

In a December interview, Ye also claimed six million Jews had not been murdered by the Holocaust and suggested he liked Hitler and Nazis, the commission said.

'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,' commission chairman Dvir Abramovich said.

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

Ye has denied being anti-Semitic.

The singer is said to have held a private ceremony at a Utah resort with the Australian designer earlier this month, and the pair have been spotted wearing wedding rings.

Despite the wedding ceremony, the union may not be legal because the pair do not appear to have filed a marriage certificate. 

A Kim Kardashian lookalike through-and-through, Censori hails from Victoria where she went to Carey Baptist Grammar School, according to her LinkedIn.

After graduating from high school, she started her own jewellery company Nylons as she completed a Bachelor's degree at the University of Melbourne from 2013-2017.

The business began with her friend Irene when they created chokers and bracelets made from Swarovski crystals for themselves and friends and later realised the potential to set up a store. 

In the last two years of her degree, Censori also worked as a design consultant at Kelektiv, a furniture design company in the city.

Censori then moved on to DP Toscano Architects in Collingwood where she stayed as she went for her Masters in Architecture.

In November of 2020, she left Australia right after she graduated from university and moved to Los Angeles to work for West as the Head of Architecture at his fashion design company Yeezy.

Not much else is known about Censori, as she deactivated her social media accounts quickly after the news about her secret nuptials with West broke.
