Grammy-winning rapper Pitbull, 45, helped fans set a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps after 22,141 concertgoers dressed up as “Mr. Worldwide” during his BST Hyde Park show in London. The rapper—whose shaved head, sunglasses, and sharp suits have become his trademark—spent months urging fans to turn the viral concert tradition into an official record. Guinness World Records adjudicator Will Munford confirmed the feat during Sunday’s show. The record-breaking crowd was only part of this spectacle: Pitbull also drew 69,999 fans, making it the biggest concert in BST Hyde Park history. He blasted through hits including “Don’t Stop the Party,” “Hotel Room Service,” and “International Love,” before surprise appearances from Lil Jon and Kesha, who joined him for “Timber” and other fan-favorite tunes. The historic night wrapped up with a singalong to Oasis’ “Wonderwall,” a tribute to the England World Cup team, and a fireworks display over London’s Hyde Park.
