There will be no punishment and no investigation after two Army military helicopters were flown by Kid Rock’s house over the weekend, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday.

"No punishment. No investigation," Hegseth wrote on X. "Carry on, patriots."

Major Montrell Russell, a spokesman for the Army, said in a statement on Tuesday that the "personnel involved have been suspended from flight duties while the Army reviews the circumstances surrounding the mission, including compliance with relevant FAA regulations, aviation safety protocol, and approval requirements."

On Saturday, musician Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, posted a video on X showing him standing in the backyard of his Tennessee home as a military helicopter hovered for several seconds and another flew close by.

[Trump was asked about it.]

“They probably shouldn’t have been doing it. You’re not supposed to be playing games, right?” Trump said. “I’d take a look at it. They like Kid Rock; I like Kid Rock. Maybe they were trying to defend him, I don’t know.”

Kid Rock flies in Army helicopter weeks after flights near his house drew scrutiny​

Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s top spokesman, said the flights supported a “community relations event” for a White House-led initiative, called Freedom 250, that is coordinating events for America’s 250th anniversary commemoration.

KID ROCK DEBUTS TAXPAYER-FUNDED CONCERT PROMO FEATURING MILITARY HELICOPTERS​

Pete Hegseth and the rest of the Trump administration can't get enough of their biggest cheerleader in music

The singer premiered a promo video at the first date on his new concert tour for the America 250 celebrations, featuring himself stepping out of a private jet before hitching a ride to the show in Dallas in a military helicopter with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Kid Rock was asked by Fox News earlier on Friday about criticism that he’s getting perks from the government. He responded by bashing the “cackling crows on The View” before implying that he deserves the perks because he’s visited the troops, where as the troops wouldn’t be interested in the host of The View. “It’s just noise,” he added of the criticism.

The Trump administration has always been desperate for cultural allies, and if Kid Rock is the best they can do, they might not exactly be winning the battle for the hearts and minds of the American people. But that doesn’t stop them from trying, and Kid Rock’s tour promo could in some ways be a beacon to other artists: Look at the access and favor we’ll grant you if you toe the party line.
