Greenville singer and "America's Got Talent" finalist Benton Blount said he was banned from Facebook for 24 hours and removed from his opening slot on Billy Gibbons' tour after posting a photo of himself wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat and an "I voted" sticker.

Blount was four shows into a seven-show slot opening shows for ZZ Top's Gibbons when he learned he had been kicked off the tour.

The photo, which Blount shared on his Facebook page, also showed him eating a Chick-Fil-A sandwich, with the caption,"Someone reading this just got offended multiple times. My work here is done! #Vote."

Blount said he had driven from Greenville to Atlanta for Wednesday night's show when he learned that he would no longer be on the bill.

In an interview with The Greenville News Thursday morning, Blount said he was told by Gibbons' management that he'd been removed from the tour once he and his band arrived at the venue, but had not spoken to Gibbons himself. An email to Gibbons' management company had not received a response on Thursday afternoon.

Blount said he wasn't given a reason for the temporary Facebook ban other than that his post "did not meet community standards."

He said often shares politically themed memes, "poking fun at politics," on his podcast page, but the photo he posted was on his personal Facebook page.

"I don't understand what's going on," Blount told The Greenville News, adding that he has received messages of support from musician friends on both ends of the political spectrum.
