Robert O’Neill — the former U.S. Navy SEAL who is widely credited as the man who killed Osama bin Laden — has revealed he was listening to The Game’s “Red Nation” prior to the momentous raid on May 2, 2011.
“On the night of it? Yeah, I actually listened to ‘Red Nation’ by The Game, that’s no kidding,” O’Neill said during recent comments to TMZ. “He’s got some good stuff going on.”
The track, which features Lil Wayne and is produced by Cool & Dre, served as the lead single to The Game’s 2011 LP, The R.E.D. Album, and was released a few weeks before the bin Laden raid.
The former SEAL revealed he hasn’t met The Game, but is a big fan of his music.
“I have not [met him, but] let’s hook that up. I’d love to.”
The Game later hit Instagram to react to the news.
During the early hours of May 2, 2011, bin Laden — the man credited with orchestrating the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States — was shot and killed at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan (around 35 miles north of the capital Islamabad) by a group of U.S. Navy SEALs.

GAME STR8 BEASTIN ON THESE NICCAS
They never did kill Bin Laden it’s a hoax. He died years before. Look up how a bunch of the seals involved in supposedly killing him died in a helicopter crash etc.
Yea they died AFTER (months) they killed Bin Laden
Guys in the military died? You really uncovered something here.
Yeah ok, we believe you conspiracy queer lmao
I’m confused, what does killing bin laden have to do with their chinook getting shot down. 2 different missions at 2 different times and in completely different regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Life’s not like a video game where you get infinite lives after killing the boss.
why they still talking about this Navy Seal Clown??? He killed a un armed man, doesn’t make him a bad ass, but a coward!!!
Coward? He stormed at house that easily could and should have been booby-trapped with IEDs, loyal fighters with AKs, etc. You know those crazy fuckers blow themselves up. Those are the real cowards, the Muslim extremists…
BS. The mastermind leader of the most deadliest CIA sponsored terrorist group in world history is not taken alive to be interrogated for information? They shot a couple civilians and sprinkled some crack on the bodies. Smoke and mirrors.
I dont like Game, F’ his music. That army guy is a buster with a gun. Bragging about blk people music knowing he dont like blks. Yall stupid
You are an absolute idiot. He served alongside blacks and people of all color. Get that race-baitin shit outta here. You’re wack and suck at life
Bullshit
Was no bin Laden didnt kill shit
Hoax or not, stop gloryfying murderers and war criminals. Shame on the United States government for thinking they can assissinate, invade and bomb as they please. Shame on the Game for showing respect.
Leon, you sound like a limp wristed individual. The mission was to kill Bin Laden who murdered countless civilians throughout his jihad against the west. You should champion every moment a jihadist is taken down. Yes, I’ll agree the US is often heavy handed, but we’re at WAR fool. If you could have killled bin laden, would you have pulled the trigger?
You should stop believing everything you hear on the news fam. Bin Laden is not who they portrayed him as, he was (is?) a patsy. How does it make sense they would kill him and throw the body in the ocean, eliminating all evidence of what happened? Where they do that at…
L
Brock, patsy for 9/11 or not, bin laden still waged war against the US for a decade before 911. Also, how do you know we didn’t keep any evidence? For all we know, they could have chopped off his head, sealed it in a box in the archives, and dumped his body overboard. Or they held onto them for a couple weeks and a CIA black site and tortured him. Point is, you have no idea what happens behind closed doors. You are a fool.
Game already takes himself way too serious. This won’t help.
Dope, the answer is no. I would have calmed my anger, arrested him and brought him to justice. Real justice, not the guantanamo kind. I’m not degrading my sense of justice to his ‘eye for an eye’, barbaric mentality. Hell no.
Plus, I’m not at war. I’m not falling for the ‘fight for one side’ BS. This ain’t no real war either. This is a global power invading countries at will, playing geopolitical chess games with economic interests in mind that have nothing to do with the ones you hear about in the media.
