Kid Rock<\/a> says he is not concerned about the Army\u2019s ongoing review into the crews of two Apache helicopters that flew over his Nashville-area property over the weekend.<\/p>\n Speaking to Nashville station WKRN<\/a> on Monday, the musician brushed off the possibility of disciplinary action and suggested the pilots had little to worry about.<\/p>\n \u201cI think they\u2019re going to be alright \u2014 my buddy is the Commander-in-Chief,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n The controversy began after Kid Rock posted a video of himself saluting at least one helicopter as it passed low over his property, a sprawling estate designed to resemble the White House<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the clip, one Apache appears to slow down and circle the home while the singer stands poolside. The footage quickly spread online and prompted questions about how the military fly-by was approved.<\/p>\n An Army spokesperson later confirmed that the incident is now under review. \u201cAn administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements,\u201d Maj. Montrell Russell said. \u201cAppropriate action will be taken if any violations are found.\u201d<\/p>\n Kid Rock, who has spent the past several years leaning further into political commentary and public support for conservative figures, appeared unfazed by the investigation. Wearing a hat with the word \u201cJesus\u201d during his WKRN interview, he questioned why the matter was being examined at all.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat are they looking into?\u201d he said before describing the fly-by as a personal milestone. “It was a level of respect that I got that no award or record sales could ever do.”<\/p>\n The singer also reignited his ongoing feud with California Gov. Gavin Newsom while sharing the original video on social media. Alongside the clip, Kid Rock wrote,<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a level of respect that sh*t for brains Governor of California will never know,\u201d before adding, \u201cGod Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.\u201d<\/p>\n The helicopters originated from Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division on the Tennessee-Kentucky border. Some people attending the protests claimed online that the same aircraft also flew over demonstrators earlier in the day.<\/p>\n A spokesperson for the 101st Airborne Division denied any connection between the helicopters and the demonstrations, calling the flight path near the protests \u201centirely coincidental.\u201d<\/p>\n A U.S. official also confirmed that the aircraft involved were Army helicopters and that investigators are now trying to determine how and why the fly-by was approved.<\/p>\n <\/a> Kid Rock Receives Backlash for Using Slur During Recent Interview<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Shinedown Details Backlash Over Kid Rock\u2019s Rock the Country: ‘The Knives Came Out’<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Kid Rock-Led ‘Rock the Country’ Festival Canceled in SC After Nearly All Performers Pull Out <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The Kid Mero Trolls Akademiks After Army Raises Enlistment Age, Says He Can \u2018Absorb Some Rounds\u2019<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n FedEx Just Made a Move to Speed Up Your Deliveries<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
