Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has joined Kid Rock for a helicopter ride after an Army visit to the singer's house sparked controversy last month.
In an X post on April 27, Hegseth revealed he accompanied "my friend" Kid Rock and U.S. Army Apache pilots for a helicopter ride earlier that morning.
The development came after the Pentagon chief in late March quickly moved to lift the suspensions of personnel involved in flying military helicopters outside the home of the conservative musician, who is a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump.
"Kid Rock is a patriot and huge supporter of our troops," Hegseth posted on X. "The War Department is wasting no time celebrating America's 250th — home of the free because of the brave."
In March, the Army said it was investigating after a video showed one of its helicopters flying by the Nashville home of the "Bawitdaba" singer. Kid Rock shared footage on X on March 28 showing himself saluting a military helicopter, which was hovering next to his pool.
