US Army investigating military helicopter fly-by at Kid Rock’s home: official

On Saturday, March 28, rap-rocker Kid Rock posted, on X and Instagram, a video of an Apache helicopter flying by his home in Nashville.

Rock, taking a swipe at Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, wrote, "This is a level of respect that s–– for brains Governor of California will never know. God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her."

Two days later, on March 30, Reuters' Idrees Ali tweeted, "A U.S. official confirmed that this indeed did happen and the Army is investigating how this happened."

According to Yahoo Entertainment's Namrata Ghosh, Rock is facing a "backlash" because of the video.

Ghosh reports, "The clip, which captured a private military flyby, has sparked debate online…. Kid Rock recently posted a video of an apparent private military flyby at his Nashville residence. The clip shows the country music star standing beside a replica of the Statue of Liberty as he waves at an Apache helicopter that hovers near his swimming pool."

A social media user, in response to the video, posted, "I'm so glad that our tax dollars are paying for Kid Rock to have a military fly by."

Another social media user wrote, "Who wasted thousands of dollars in fuel, maintenance, and wages to go hover by his pool?"
