Kid Rock, whose government name is Robert Ritchie, posted videos of the visit on social media Saturday. The video shows Kid Rock clapping and saluting the helicopters from his “Southern White House,” which is perched on a ridge overlooking Whites Creek. One helicopter hovers near Kid Rock’s infinity pool while the second swoops across the sky behind it.
“This is a level of respect that s*** for brains Governor of California will never know. God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her. 🇺🇸 🙏,” captioned Kid Rock.
A source familiar with the incident told ABC News the four crew members aboard both Apache helicopters have been suspended pending the investigation.

NBC News shared further:
The Army later identified the aircraft as AH-64 Apache helicopters operating in the Nashville area and stated that "appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found." A military spokesperson said Monday that the helicopters flew from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to the Nashville area.
"Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations," the Army said in a statement Monday. "An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements."
A spokesman for the 101st Airborne Division, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, said the flying helicopters were not related to Nashville's "No Kings” protests that took place over the weekend and were "entirely coincidental" with the demonstrations.
