U.S. Army Probes Helicopter Incidents at Kid Rock’s Home Amid No Kings Protest
U.S. Army officials have launched an inquiry after two AH-64 Apache helicopters flew above a downtown Nashville protest and then performed low-altitude maneuvers near a private residence north of the city. The incident occurred on March 28, 2026, during the “No Kings” protest and drew rapid attention online.
Investigation opened
Fort Campbell and the 101st Airborne Division announced they are reviewing the flights. Maj. Jonathon Bless, the unit’s public affairs officer, confirmed commanders saw video circulating on social media.
The command said it will examine the circumstances surrounding the operations. Officials emphasized aviation safety and adherence to established flight regulations.
Unclear intent behind the flight
Bless told Filmogaz.com that leaders do not yet know why the helicopters were near the residence. He noted pilots from the 101st routinely fly routes beyond Fort Campbell’s boundaries.
Investigators are trying to determine whether the presence was incidental or deliberate.
Footage and homeowner posts
The property owner, entertainer Robert Ritchie, posted video to X on March 28. One clip shows him on a covered deck saluting as an Apache hovered over the pool area.
He added a profanity-laced remark directed at California’s governor and a patriotic message. A second clip shows a helicopter in what appears to be an attack orientation while another Apache flies in the background.
Property details
The house sits in the Whites Creek suburb, just north of Nashville. The mansion covers roughly 27,000 square feet and was modeled after the White House.
