Can I be asked not to tell anyone about a bonus? (USA)

My manager just called to give me the news of a bonus I'll be getting. I'm the only one on my team, and few in the company that are getting any bonus at all. His words were “and if you tell anyone, I'll kill ya.” This was said with a joking tone, of course. Would this fall under the same rules for the Fair Labor Standards Act about being able to discuss my compensation, and preventing employers from forbidding it?
