Hegseth, Kid Rock Bond Over Helicopter Ride

0:00It's April 28th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered stories from the spotlight. Pete Hakeseth, the Pentagon chief, hopped on a helicopter ride with his buddy Kid Rock and some U.S. Army Apache pilots this past April 27th. This comes right after a stir last month when Army choppers buzz the singer's Nashville home, sparking an investigation. Back in late March, Kid Rock posted video of the helicopters hovering near his pool. The Army launched an administrative review, worried about safety rules and flight regs, and even suspended the crews involved. Hakeseth stepped in fast on March 31st, lifting those suspensions with no punishment or further probe. President Trump chimed in, saying the flyby probably broke rules. But adding he digs Kid Rock too. The singer himself called it a harmless cool moment. Fast forward to now, Hakeseth shared on X that Kid Rock's a true patriot and big backer of the troops. He linked it to celebrating America's 250th birthday, home of the free thanks to the brave.
