Blame It On Gangster Rap! Sailor Accused Of Murder On Nuclear Sub Was Gangster Rapper

Ryan Donovan, the seaman accused of shooting and killing a Royal Navy officer and seriously wounding another on board a submarine on Friday (April 8th) in the United Kingdom, was an aspiring rapper named Reggie Moondogg who was friends with artist Tinie Tempah.

Donovan is accused of murdering Lt. Commander Ian Molyneux and seriously wounding Lt. Commander Chris Hodge on the HMS Astute, a submarine that was docked in Southampton.

According to witnesses, Donovan lost his temper when he was refused permission to leave the submarine due to a crew shortage and because dignitaries from the region were on board the nuclear submarine.

Donovan, who rapped under the alias "Reggie Moondogg," had made a variety of demos two years ago, one reportedly titled "Unprovoked Outburst," which reportedly references series killings, violence and "murder sprees."

The UK's Daily Mirror reported that Donovan joined the Royal Navy three years after working as a sound engineer, while trying to launch his career as a rapper.

He kept in touch with Tinie Tempah after the Mobo/Brit Award-winning rapper hit it big around the world.

“Ryan used to phone Tinie for advice about the music industry. Music was Ryan’s love and he was thrilled that Tinie had made it so big. Tinie was his hero,” a source told The Mirror.

Donovan began firing his SA80 rifle while making his way towards the control room. A local official visiting the submarine named Royston Smith tackled Donovan before he could shoot or kill anyone else.

UK papers report that police are already investigating Donovan's rap music.
