But this week, for some reason, the world has been granted a very brief glimpse into what could have been. Behold, a strange little snippet which leaked on Instagram: The clip comes via Shihan Barbee, a CG modeler who was involved in the video’s production, as XXL [reports](http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2014/08/knye-west-amber-rose-robocop/). The 13-second stop-motion clip features the head of Kanye’s then-girlfriend Amber Rose digitally inserted onto the body of a naked doll. She basically just jerks around while Ye stands there. Alas, the full video may never surface — but here are some behind-the-scenes interviews with West and Williams: Man, now seeing the full video feels more urgent than ever. Pretty please, Yeezy? ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3094054/kanye-west-robocop-video-amber-rose/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3094054/kanye-west-robocop-video-amber-rose/"},"headline":"Watch a Weird Snippet From Kanye West's Unreleased 'RoboCop' Video","datePublished":"2014-08-08T20:54:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:18.129Z","description":"Featuring a nude Amber Rose doll, because sure","url":"https://time.com/3094054/kanye-west-robocop-video-amber-rose/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Instagram","video","Music Video","kanye"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3094054/kanye-west-robocop-video-amber-rose/","name":"Watch a Weird Snippet From Kanye West's Unreleased 'RoboCop' Video"}}]}] ```
