The 45-year-old artist expressed his gratitude to the fans for their enthusiastic participation in the record-setting event, which took place amidst temperatures nearing 30 degrees Celsius. "Setting a record, making history," the rapper commented on the achievement before Will Munford from the Guinness Book officially confirmed the record.

This trend of fans dressing like their idol has grown in recent years. Last year, Pitbull remarked on seeing "so many bald, beautiful, sexy people in one place" and hoped those wearing bald caps felt as he does every day. For some fans, like 21-year-old Connie McGovern, the commitment was significant, with one fan humorously noting difficulty removing the cap due to hair and makeup.

I have never seen so many bald, beautiful, sexy people in one place. To all of you who came with a bald cap: I hope you feel how I feel every day. I have the best time of my life every day.

Armando Christian Pรฉrez, known as Pitbull, is the son of Cuban immigrants and hails from Miami. His music, often characterized by high-energy beats and catchy hooks, has garnered over two billion streams globally.

I think I put it on too early. Now I can't get it off because my hair and makeup are messed up, and I have to admit: it's not coming off.
