โ€œAmerican Idolโ€ runner-up Bo Bice claims he was attacked on the basis of his race at a Popeyes restaurant at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.

โ€œHe already got his, that white boy there,โ€ Bice, 41, claims one of the fast food restaurantโ€™s employees said of him, before mistakenly delivering his order to somebody else, the Daily Mail reports.

The women reportedly laughed after referring to him as โ€œthat white boy.โ€

Previously, Bice claims one of the women had mocked his name for five minutes straight, calling him โ€œBow-Bow, Boo- Boo, and Bo-Bo.โ€

Bice later uploaded photos and the name of one of the women onto social media.

โ€œIf tables had been turned and I used something as insensitive like that โ€ฆ I would be boycotted, people wouldnโ€™t buy my albums,โ€ Bice said while explaining his reasons for being upset to WTTG.

Facebook promptly removed his post, referring to it as bullying while stating it violated their policy to not โ€œidentify and shame private individuals.โ€
