He then pointed to his shirt and held up a thumbs down signal, which sparked an even louder reaction from the crowd.
But Bailey handled it like a pro, and instead of getting upset by the heckling, he decided to take the shirt off mid-performance and finish the set shirtless.
‘You guys want me to take it off or what?’ he asked the fans, who all started cheering loudly in response to his question.
He then pulled the top off – and the crowd gave their seal of approval, bursting into a loud applause.
Afterwards, Bailey reposted a clip of the hilarious incident on his Instagram account.
‘Did you really get booed playing the Raiders stadium and then take your shirt off?’ he wrote alongside a video that showed him nodding and jokingly covering his face in embarrassment.
‘I know y’all just wanted me to take my shirt off,’ he added in the caption.
Immediately, people flocked to the comment section to praise him for how he handled it.

‘You’re the man for continuing on, that ain’t easy,’ one person wrote.
‘Brother, you are a f**king legend for this. This is straight up class. As humble as it gets,’ gushed someone else.
Another user added, ‘You handled that like such a pro, and so humbly. Just giving the fans what they wanted and letting it roll off your back. Way to go.’
‘You handled it so well. We definitely weren’t booing you, just the shirt,’ a different viewer insisted.
‘The Raiders are very new to Vegas and not really the locals team. Next time in Vegas wear a Vegas Golden Knights hockey jersey and the crowd will go wild.
