It all went down during a live broadcast of "Monday Night Raw" ... when a manager named Abraham Washington -- who was wearing a live mic -- was ringside for a match involving a wrestler named Titus O'Neil ... and during the action, A.W. let the Kobe crack fly.

But a source close to George tells TMZ ... the singer isn't flattered by the public libido worship ... he's upset about it because he feels Anley only released the details to make Keegan feel worse about the breakup.
