Pitbull, whose full name is Armando Christian Perez, wore a bald cap himself to be included in the tally.
The record attempt originated from a TikTok video posted by content creator Jack Remmington suggesting the BST Hyde Park crowd could break the mark. BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James joined the effort, and the pair texted Pitbull for approval. " Four hundred volunteers checked participants individually at the entrance and on site.
Drone footage was reviewed by 42 counters backstage to confirm the total. The concert drew a capacity crowd of nearly 70,000, the largest hosted at BST Hyde Park to date, with London temperatures reaching 32C. " Kesha and Lil Jon joined him onstage, and Kesha wore a bald cap during their collaboration.
The pair performed "Timber" together for the first time in 13 years. Pitbull, born in Miami to Cuban parents, released his debut album M.I.A.M.I. in 2004.
