Pitbull Breaks Guinness Record With Temporarily Bald Crowd

Mr. Worldwide just turned a running gag into a record-book moment. At London's BST Hyde Park on Sunday, 22,141 Pitbull fans pulled on bald caps, clinching a Guinness World Records honor for the largest bald-capped gathering. The tally was confirmed at the site by a Guinness adjudicator, months after the rapper urged his "Bald E" followers to make their homage to his look—bald head, shades, stylish suit—official. "I'm speechless," the 45-year-old said upon accepting the award, per the Guardian. "Who would have thought a first-generation Cuban would be record-breaking and record-making?"

He also gave a shoutout to his fans, per USA Today: "We did it, baldies!"The stunt unfolded before a sold-out crowd of 69,999, the best-attended show in the festival's history, and was streamed for three hours on Pitbull's YouTube channel with fan interviews and commentary, People notes. Pitbull ran through hits including "Don't Stop the Party" and "International Love," brought out Lil Jon and Kesha, slipped in a cover of Oasis' "Wonderwall," and wrapped the record-setting night with "Give Me Everything" and fireworks.
