The US army has suspended two helicopter crews which hovered next to Kid Rock’s swimming pool while he clapped and saluted.The singer posted a video on X showing the aircraft flying next to his house in Nashville, Tennessee.
The suspension is a discretionary, but not unusual, step when an administrative review is underway, US army spokesperson Major Montrell Russell said.Kid Rock, an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump, told his local television station WKRN-TV that it’s not uncommon for helicopters from nearby Fort Campbell to fly near his home.

He said he is a big supporter of the military and has performed for troops overseas in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries.
“I think they know this is a pretty friendly spot,” he said.He added that he joined Thanksgiving celebrations with Vice President JD Vance at Fort Campbell, a large army base on the Tennessee-Kentucky border.

“I’ve talked to some of these pilots… I’m like, ‘You guys are always welcome to cruise by my house, any time,'” he said.Major Russell explained there would be a review into the conduct of the helicopter crews: “Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations. 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. Until the review is complete, there will be no further comment,” he added.The helicopters were on a training mission when they stopped by Kid Rock’s house, said Major Jonathon Bless, public affairs officer for the 101st Airborne Division.

The helicopters also flew over a “No Kings” protest against Mr Trump in Nashville.But Major Bless said their presence was not connected with the protest.
Kid Rock said he thought it was “really cool” that they stopped to hover at his house.Asked about possible repercussions for the helicopter crews, he said, “I think they’re going to be all right. My buddy’s the commander in chief.”
