The country-rap rocker stood by his pool at his ā€œsouthern White Houseā€ replica, applauding and giving a military salute as two AH-64 Apache helicopters flew overhead on March 28, 2026.

The post was clearly referencing Newsom’s recent move to ban Kid Rock from California, which the governor announced on social media last month. Major Montrell Russell, an Army spokesperson, confirmed that the service has launched an administrative review into the incident,Ā according to USA Today. The Army emphasized that appropriate action would be taken if any violations were discovered. The timing raises eyebrows because those same Apache helicopters also flew over ā€œNo Kingsā€ protests happening in Nashville that same day, where thousands gathered across the country to oppose Trump’s efforts to expand presidential power.

Kid Rock’s longtime friendship with TrumpĀ is well-documented, and he’s been actively supporting conservative causes. He recently appeared in a workout video with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and hosted Turning Point USA’s halftime how, which was marketed as the ā€œAll-Americanā€ alternative to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance.
