The \u201cAmerican Bad Ass\u201d rocker sent social media into a tailspin after posting footage of a military helicopter hovering just yards away<\/a> from his Tennessee estate dubbed the \u201cSouthern White House.\u201d<\/p>\n

But while the choppers provided the spectacle, Rock provided the sting, using the moment to deliver a brutal clap back<\/a> at the Golden State on his X account over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The jab at Newsom wasn\u2019t just a random insult \u2014 it\u2019s the latest in a long-running feud between the rocker and the Governor. Rock has blasted Newsom\u2019s policies, and the tension reached a fever pitch following reports that Newsom effectively \u201cbanned\u201d the singer from the state<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Newsom reportedly took aim at Rock\u2019s firebrand rhetoric after he posted a video performing a workout with RFK Jr. in February.<\/p>\n

The video shows the 55-year-old Michigan native standing on the balcony of his 27,000-square-foot mansion \u2014 a dead ringer for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue \u2014 as the massive rotors churned the air over his property.<\/p>\n

As the choppers hung low over his infinity pool, Rock stood tall, offering a crisp salute to the pilots as he stood next to a miniature statue of liberty. <\/p>\n

The estate, located in Whites Creek, Tennessee, has become legendary in its own right. Featuring a gold-plated toilet and a massive American flag that rivals most car dealerships<\/a>, the property serves as the nerve center for Rock\u2019s brand of blue-collar conservatism.<\/p>\n
