The U.S. Army is looking into the military helicopter that flew outside of Kid Rock’s Nashville mansion.
Over the weekend, Kid Rock went viral when he released a video of a military helicopter flying low to greet him right out of his house.
“This is a level of respect that sh-t for brains Governor of California will never know.” said the rocker on Twiter/X. “God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.”

People were not happy that the Army was using taxpayers’ money for a stunt outside of Kid Rock’s house.
“WTF? Why are taxpayers paying for military helicopters to fly past Kid Rock’s house for a photoshoot?” commented one user.
According to a report by Reuters’ Idrees Ali, the Army is currently investigating what the helicopter was doing outside Kid Rock’s home and whether it violated any laws.
“A U.S. official confirmed that this indeed did happen and the Army is investigating how this happened”
.
“An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements. Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found,” the Army said.
Maj. Jonathon Bless, public affairs officer for the 101st Airborne Division, released a statement to NewsChannel5 regarding the issue.
“Fort Campbell leadership is aware of a video circulating on social media depicting AH-64 Apache helicopters operating in the vicinity of a private residence associated with Mr. Robert Ritchie (also known as ‘Kid Rock’). The command has initiated an investigation to review the circumstances surrounding this activity.”
“The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and Fort Campbell maintain strict standards for aviation safety, professionalism, and adherence to established flight regulations. We take all concerns regarding aircraft operations and their impact on the surrounding community seriously.”
