Kanye West foray into the TV world was cut short by HBO in 2007.

Now, the pilot of the shelved A Little Inappropriate featuring the rap star leaked online.

The 30-minute episode was instantly removed from the internet, as per HipHopDx.

In 2007, HBO was approached for the show, but it didn't move forward, according to Far Out Magazine.

The report adds Ye made efforts to mix the elements of Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage to bring out a new refreshing show.

The 45-year-old was part of the cast, including?? His pal designer Don C, rapper GLC, Jeff Garlin, and comedians JB Smoove and Wyatt Cenac.

Back in 2013, Cenac told Vulture, "Kanye knew he wasn't a good improviser. He'd read something that Seinfeld said about surrounding himself with better talent and that he would rise to the occasion. And so that was his hope."

Although the hip-hop star was ready for the substance for season one, as interviews were shot with Nelson George, Professor Boyce Watkins and Cornel West, however, HBO decided to opt out of the project.

"HBO was like, 'We didn't pay for a show with these no-name ****. Find a way to put some Kanye in this,'" Cenac revealed to the magazine.

Previously, West was celebrating his birthday without much fanfare; coincidentally, some footage of his Donda documentary leaked online on the same day.

The never-seen-footage provides insights into Ye's unconventional approach to music-making.

The five-minute clip shows the polarising rap star stretching his creativity boundaries by shifting to Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a dual purpose: to live and make music.
