In June 2011, a studio-quality version of "Mama's Boyfriend" was leaked online, much to the excitement of fans who had been waiting nearly a year for an official release. Blogs and music outlets hailed it as the long-awaited track. However, the celebration was short-lived. Kanye West's label, Island Def Jam, quickly issued a statement declaring the leak "entirely bogus and unsanctioned." The label explained that an unknown party had obtained a vocal track from Kanye and laid it over a completely different, unofficial instrumental. The statement stressed that the leaked version "in no way resembles the final song Kanye West intended his fans to hear," and that he was "deeply disappointed that one of the most personal, meaningful and special songs he has ever written would reach people in this way."
