Pitbull Excluded From His Own Record Without the Bald Cap

When 22,141 Pitbull fans gathered at BST Hyde Park on July 10 wearing bald caps to set a Guinness World Record, the rapper himself faced a peculiar requirement: he had to wear a bald cap too. Because Guinness defined the category as "largest gathering of people wearing bald caps"—not bald people—the naturally bald artist had to don the synthetic headpiece to qualify. The category's literal interpretation meant no exemptions.
