The Army is investigating after one of its helicopters appeared to fly by Kid Rock's home in Nashville to greet him, according to video the conservative musician posted to social media.
The videos showed the country rap-rocker saluting and applauding a military helicopter as it hovered in the sky next to an outdoor pool at his "southern White House," modeled after the president's home in Washington.
"This is a level of respect that (expletive) for brains Governor of California will never know," Kid Rock, an outspoken conservative, captioned the video. "God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her."
The post was an apparent dig at Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who last month "banned" Kid Rock from his state in a post to X.
The Army has opened an "administrative review" into the incident, Maj. Montrell Russell, an Army spokesperson, said in a statement to USA TODAY.
