The US military has suspended two helicopter crews that were hovering next to Kid Rock’s swimming pool while he was clapping and saluting.
The singer posted a video on Instagram showing the plane flying next to his home in Nashville, tennessee.
U.S. Army spokesman Major Montrell Russell said suspension is a discretionary move while an administrative review is underway, but not unusual.
Kid Rock, a vocal supporter of donald trumptold his local television station WKRN-TV that it is not unusual to see helicopters from nearby Fort Campbell flying near his home.
He said he is a big supporter of the military and has performed for troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries.
“I think they know it’s a very friendly place,” he said.
He said he attended the Thanksgiving celebration with the Vice President JD Vance At Fort Campbell, a large military base on the Tennessee-Kentucky border.
He said, “I’ve talked to some of these pilots… I say, ‘You guys are always welcome to visit my house any time.'”
Major Russell explained that the conduct of the helicopter crew would be reviewed: “Army pilots must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism and established flight rules. 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. No further comments will be made until the review is complete,” he said.
Maj. Jonathan Blais, public affairs officer for the 101st Airborne Division, said the helicopters were on a training mission when they stopped at Kid Rock’s home.

Helicopters also flew during “No Kings” protests against Mr Trump in Nashville.
But Major Blais said his presence was not connected to the protest.
Kid Rock said he thought it was “really cool” that they stopped by his house to sing.
Asked about the possible consequences for the helicopter crew, he said, “I think they’ll be OK. My friend is the commander in chief.”
