The US Army has launched a review after musician Kid Rock shared a video showing two military helicopters hovering outside his Tennessee home. The Army said the AH-64 Apaches were conducting a training route past the Nashville area, where the country rock artist's hilltop estate is located.
An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements, Army spokesman Maj Montrell Russell said. Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found.
Kid Rock, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, posted the footage on social media of himself gesturing to the aircraft from his outdoor pool, alongside a profanity aimed at California Governor Gavin Newsom. In one clip, Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, stands poolside next to a replica of the Statue of Liberty, clapping and saluting as the aircraft hovers before flying away.
God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her, was noted in the post’s caption. Another video features Kid Rock pumping his fist before a second gunship appears to fly by his mansion, fondly referred to as the Southern White House.
Maj Jonathon Bless, a spokesman for the Army's 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, confirmed that an investigation has been launched, stating, We take all concerns regarding aircraft operations and their impact on the surrounding community seriously.\
