Pitbull<\/a> set a Guinness World Record in London on Friday for the \u201clargest gathering of people wearing bald caps.\u201d The rapper, along with some 22,141 fans who showed up to Hyde Park in bald caps, set the record at the BST Festival where Pitbull headlined.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m speechless. Who would have thought a first-generation Cuban would be record-breaking and record-making?\u201d Pitbull said when accepting the award, per The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Pitbull is bald, he donned a bald cap himself. As Will Munford, an official adjudicator for Guinness World Records told the outlet, Pitbull had \u201cto wear a bald cap to be in the record number\u201d as the record was not for \u201clargest gathering of bald people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Volunteers numbered to 400 to \u201cindividually check people\u201d when they entered and onsite. Plus, there was \u201cdrone footage with 42 counters backstage,\u201d Munford said to tally the record.<\/p>\n

The idea to try and set the record came from a fan. \u201cThis whole thing is happening because of me,\u201d \u00a0ack Remmington, a podcast host and cultural commenter, told The Guardian. Remmington had posted a TikTok video that went viral, which said BST, which has a 65,000 capacity, was \u201ceasily enough to break the world record of people cosplaying as Pitbull.\u201d Remmington was in communication with Guinness World Records and BBC Radio 1 Greg James, and they texted Pitbull to see if he wanted to take the challenge, which he obviously did.<\/p>\n

Pitbull announced<\/a> his going for the record in February, encouraging fans to turn up at BST Hyde Park on July 10. \u201cLet me tell you how I feel about all the bald-e\u2019s that\u2019s gonna be putting it down,\u201d Pitbull said in a statement at the time. \u201cI just wanna let y\u2019all know that every time you put on that bald cap, you know you\u2019re about to have the time of your lives. I appreciate the love, I appreciate the commitment, I appreciate the support and more than anything, I just want to say thank you. Dale!\u201d<\/p>\n

No one held the record for \u201clargest gathering of people wearing bald caps\u201d prior to him and the more than 20,000 bald-capped fans who showed up on Friday. But now, they made history.<\/p>\n
