  • Pitbull , the Latin hip hop artist, officially broke a Guinness World Record during his headline performance at British Summer Time (BST) in Hyde Park.
  • The record was for orchestrating the largest ever gathering of people wearing bald caps, with 22,141 fans participating on Friday evening.
  • The idea for the record-breaking attempt originated from BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James, who later presented Pitbull with his official certificate.
  • Pitbull, whose real name is Armando Christian Perez, expressed his gratitude to London, Hyde Park, and his fans, affectionately known as 'Bald-es'.
  • This marked the first time this specific record was attempted under official adjudication, and the trend of fans dressing as Pitbull has become a viral phenomenon at his concerts.
