Kid Rock Says Army Pilots Who Flew Over His Home Will Be ‘Alright’ Because His ‘Buddy’ Is President Trump

Kid Rock believes President Donald Trump has got his back when it comes to the fate of the army pilots who flew above his Tennessee home over the weekend as the military investigates the situation.

On Saturday, March 28, the 55-year-old singer (real name: Robert Ritchie) took to Instagram, sharing a video of himself standing outside next to his pool at his Nashville property — which is modeled after the White House in Washington D.C. — waving at and saluting a military aircraft flying by.

A spokesperson for Fort Campbell, US Army, told Nashville’s WKRN that “Fort Campbell leadership is aware of a video circulating on social media depicting AH-64 Apache helicopters operating in the vicinity of a private residence associated with Mr. Robert Ritchie (also known as “Kid Rock”). The command has initiated an investigation to review the circumstances surrounding this activity.”

Meanwhile, Kid Rock told WKRN, “I think they’re going to be alright — my buddy is the commander in chief,” referring to Trump, 79.

“They circled back around and came out right over here, and I just gave them a salute, kind of a thank you, and man, it was a level of respect that I got that no award or record sales could do,” Kid Rock remarked. “It was pretty cool they stopped right there. I wasn’t expecting any of that, but I thought it was really neat.”

The “All Summer Long” hitmaker also told WKRN that he chatted with military pilots in the past.

“I was there last Thanksgiving with [Vice President] JD Vance, and I’ve talked to some of these pilots, and I told them, ‘You guys see me waving when you come by the house, you guys are always welcome to cruise by my house like any time,” he recalled.

Despite speculation, the military spokesperson confirmed the helicopters were not there for the No King Rally in Nashville that day, explaining it was “entirely coincidental,” as “these helicopters were flying a route in the Nashville vicinity for training purposes.”
