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.

The Army did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday regarding the suspensions.

Kid Rock, who rose to fame in the 1990s and early 2000s for hits including “Picture” and “All Summer Long,” has resurfaced in the cultural zeitgeist in recent years after becoming an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump.

In 2024, Rock performed at the Republican National Convention, and in 2025, he was in the Oval Office for the signing of an executive order to curb ticket scalping.
