Hi there.
''I don't need to hear it come out of his little head.''

Is the phrase in the bold an object complement, a catenative verb or a possessive case?

Thanks in advance.

The sentence is unnatural.

'I don't need to hear it come out of his little head.' is unnatural.

With all respect, I disagree that it is unnatural. It is something I might say if I was sufficiently angry.
