DJ Toomp mentioned he worked on the track. His version had "big crazy horns" and "[his] drums". Kanye did not like Toomp's version.

Original version, Kanye has a few different bars in his first verse. CyHi has an alternate, longer verse written from the perspective of Santa, seemingly recorded in a higher quality. Structure of Teyana's vocals are also in different parts of the song.

OG Filename: Mama's Boy_JBAug2010 Track 10 on the original My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy tracklist shared by Complex. Listed as bonus track by HipHopDX under name "Momma's Boyfriend". Leaked months after the album released. Kanye's team released a statement stating the beat was fake, but it was played during a Q-Tip Red Bull Interview 5 years later. Madlib who likely did one of the sample chops, implied Kanye didn't want to pay him for his work and possibly wanted to take primary credit for the beat which might have been why the song was scrapped. Samples "The Velvet Swing" by Acoustic Alchemy and "Heritage of a Black Man" by Sam Dees. OG File surfaced 28/05/2025.

A music video was supposed to be released, but MTV refused to air it. After hearing this, and because the video leaked a few days prior, Kanye took it off of YouTube. The text at the beginning is blurry, but is able to be read as, "The following content is in no way to be interpreted as misogynistic or negative towards any group of people. It is an art piece and shall be taken as such." This version includes an altered outro from the Bon Iver outro that is missing a single line. The music video depicts Nicki as a vampire, Kanye as Dr. Frankenstein, and has many other references to Thriller movies such as American Psycho, Saw and Michael Jackson's "Thriller". An unfinished version leaked and is included in the link section as well as a behind the scenes video, which depicts Rick Ross eating a fetus (NSFW).

Solo Kanye, unfinished and unmastered leak. Has slight production differences to released. May be partially fake or a stem edit with how a Charlie Wilson vocal effect sounds and the abrupt outro.
