The U.S. military is investigating an incident in which an Apache helicopter appears to have passed over the Nashville, Tennessee, home of singer Kid Rock, a prominent supporter of President Donald Trump, over the weekend, an Army spokesperson announced Monday.
On Saturday, Kid Rock posted a video on his X account showing himself standing next to a pool, a miniature Statue of Liberty, and a sign reading “Southern White House” overhead, pointing at two helicopters as they hovered and flying near his home, and raising his fist in gratitude in a salute.
“This is a level of respect for brains that the Governor of California will never know,” the singer wrote in one post, referring to Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, an ardent critic of President Trump. “God bless America and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect her.”
“The Army is aware of a video circulating online that appears to show an AH64 Apache helicopter operating near a private home in the Nashville area,” Maj. Montrell Russell, an Army spokesman, said in an emailed statement to CNBC.
“Military aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations. Administrative reviews are underway to evaluate the mission and confirm compliance with regulations and airspace requirements,” Russell said.
The spokesperson added: “If any violations are found, appropriate action will be taken. We will have no further comment until the investigation is complete.”
Kid Rock’s X post came on the same day that anti-Trump “No Kings” demonstrations were held across the United States.
In February, Newsom’s X account mocked Kid Rock and Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. with a video of them training together shirtless.
