Army investigates helicopter flyby at Kid Rock’s Nashville home

On Saturday, Kid Rock posted videos on his X account showing two helicopters hovering and flying close to his home, as he pointed at them, pumped his fist in appreciation, and saluted while standing next to a pool, a miniature “Statue of Liberty” and a sign above his head that said, “Southern White House.”

“This is a level of respect that s— for brains Governor of California will never know,” the singer wrote in one post, referring to Gov. Gavin Newsom, a staunch Democratic critic of Trump. “God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.”

“Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations. An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements,” Russell said.

The spokesman added, “Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found. Until the review is complete, there will be no further comment.”

The X posts by Kid Rock were made on the same day as anti-Trump “No Kings” demonstrations were held around the United States.

Newsom’s X account in February mocked Kid Rock for a video showing him and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. working out together shirtless.
