A controversial US influencer who once praised Hitler has appeared alongside NRL star Sonny Bill Williams as fury grows over his visit to Australia.

Sneako, whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, was spotted spending time with Williams in western Sydney.

The far-right provocateur has been linked to the 'manosphere', a subculture that promotes misogynistic views, and once said people were too afraid to say 'Hitler had aura' because they would get fired.

His visit has sparked outrage, with Australians signing a petition for him to be booted, and pressure mounting on Immigration Minister Tony Burke to cancel his visa.

In footage from his visit to Sydney, Sneako went to Sydney Zoo at Bungarribee where he interacted with animals and used the term ‘goyim’ to describe them. 

The word is commonly used to refer to non‑Jews, and antisemitism watchdogs have flagged its use in derogatory contexts. 

Later in the same video, Sneako claimed Christians should be 'angrier at gay pride parades' than at Islamic prayer in public, framing LGBTQ+ events as morally corrupt while suggesting religious expression is unfairly targeted in western societies.

Williams, who converted to Islam in 2009 and frequently speaks publicly about faith and discipline, was heard endorsing hardline religious views during the discussion. 

At one point in the video, Williams referred to women as 'fitna', an Islamic term commonly used to describe temptation or moral testing, while discussing the challenges men face in public spaces.

'How do you handle the fitna of women, bro?' Williams asked Sneako.

'I think even Prophet Muhammad said that the hardest test for a man is a woman, right?'

Sneako's appearance in Australia comes during a turbulent period for the streamer. 

He was permanently banned from YouTube in 2022 for what the platform described as 'extreme hateful conduct,' and has since faced restrictions on Twitch, TikTok and other major platforms.

Earlier this year, Sneako again drew condemnation after videos surfaced showing him leading a crowd in New York City chanting slogans linked to the 7th‑century Battle of Khaybar, language widely regarded by Jewish groups as inciting violence.

Footage posted online shows the streamer chanting, 'Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yahud! Jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud!' as members of the crowd repeat the phrase. The chant translates to: 'Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews! The army of Muhammad will return!'

The slogan references the Battle of Khaybar, a historic conflict between Muslim forces and Jewish tribes, and has been used in modern times by extremist groups as an explicit threat toward Jews. 

Jewish organisations and antisemitism watchdogs have long warned that the chant functions as a call to violence rather than a historical reference. 

Criticism intensified in January when footage surfaced of Sneako at a nightclub alongside influencer Andrew Tate and self‑proclaimed white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, while Kanye West's song Heil Hitler played inside the venue. 

Videos showed Sneako singing along as others in his group made Nazi salutes, prompting widespread outrage from Jewish organisations. 

The club later issued a public apology and permanently banned those involved.

The Coalition has since called for Sneako's visa to be cancelled, warning that his presence highlights serious failings in Australia's border and security checks.

Appearing on Sky News on Monday, Opposition home affairs spokesman Jonno Duniam said Sneako's entry reflected deeper problems within the Department of Home Affairs, pointing to earlier cases involving radical Islamic preachers whose visas were later revoked.

'The idea that we're letting in the people that we are, from Mizanur Rahman Azhari and Shaykh Ahmadullah and now this Sneako, shows what happens when visa integrity is not taken seriously,' he said.

'If no one inside the department is doing the work required to ensure we're letting in the right people, then of course we end up in this situation.'

Duniam said ‘vigilant people, particularly in the Jewish community’, were left to alert the media and the public before the government responded. 

'Only then does the government act,' he said.

Host Sharri Markson asked whether Burke should cancel Sneako's visa.

'Without question. This individual is a misogynist, he praises Hitler, and he is an antisemite. That is not the kind of person we want here,' Duniam responded.

Daily Mail contacted Burke and the Department of Home Affairs for comment.

A petition to have Sneako's visa revoked has been started by social media figure Drew Pavlou, which currently has over 4,000 signatures.
