The supposed unreleased music video for Ye‘s 808s & Heartbreak cut “RoboCop” has unfortunately leaked online.

The visual, which is now scattered around social media thanks to YouTuber PunkCity, stars West and a plastic doll with the likeness of Amber Rose, who was his girlfriend at the time of the album’s release. A short clip of the video surfaced about a decade ago, and it remains unsure how the original uploader of this leak managed to get their hands on the four-minute video.

808s & Heartbreak dropped in November 2008 and featured contributions from the likes of No I.D., Plain Pat, Jeff Bhasker, Mr Hudson, Kid Cudi, Jeezy, Lil Wayne and more. It went on to debut at No. 1 and has been certified triple platinum by the RIAA.
