From https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kid-rock-address-pentagon/

The image is real and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared it on social media. However, the caption claiming Kid Rock addressed the Strait of Hormuz was fabricated, originating in an X post from a user who has shared fictional and humorous content.

    I think it just wasn't about the Straight in particular, though it may have been mentioned.

    Robert "Kid Rock" Ritchie participated in multiple troop touches with service members and filmed videos for Memorial Day, America's 250th birthday, and for his Freedom 250 tour. The visit provided an opportunity for Kid Rock to thank service members […] and recognize their continued sacrifice.

    And I can't imagine those Generals would attend that talk, except to suck up to Trump/Hegseth.

    So still looks really pathetic and bad. But Kid Rock probably didn't give them military advice about Hormuz.
