Blake Shelton sure chose an interesting way of welcoming John Legend to Season 16 of “The Voice.” Moments after Gyth Rigdon began singing Uncle Kracker‘s “Drift Away” in the season premiere, Blake rudely slammed his hand down on his “Block” button to prevent the young country artist from joining the new coach’s team. “Who blocked me? They don’t want us to be together!” John shouted at Gyth after his performance was over. Watch “The Voice” blind audition video above.

Adam Levine laughed that John was just blocked “on the first hour of his first day,” before adding, “I can assure you it was Blake Shelton.” Blake tried to play it off by saying that Kelly Clarkson had blocked Gyth, but everyone knew the truth. John later joked, “We’re gonna call him ‘Block’ Shelton.
