Pitbull responds to fans turning up in bald caps as tickets for UK/EU tour released

Pitbull finally shared his reaction to fans showing up to his concerts wearing bald caps.

After releasing a string of hits throughout the 2010s, the rapper from Miami has now become an unintentional style influencer.

Mr. Worldwide AKA Mr. 305 is currently embarking on his Party After Dark world tour, which visited cities across the US in 2024 and the UK and the rest of Europe in February.

If you were travelling on the tube in London last Friday (21 February) you probably spotted crowded carriages of people wearing bald caps, tuxedos and aviator glasses on their way to the O2.

Why are people dressing up as Pitbull?

It's now tradition to dress up as as the 'I Know You Want Me' rapper when attending a show, and the trend is spreading quickly thanks to social media. Think of it like wearing green for Brat Summer or Barbiecore pink.

“Bald caps for dressing like Pitbull” is now a trending search term on TikTok. One hilarious video shows a group of women in Paris dressing up as Pitbull as they galavant around the city before attending the concert like Pitbull - it now has over 4.2 million views.

The 'Timber' rapper himself has made it clear he approves of people impersonating his look, as he told the crowd at London’s O2 Arena last Friday: “I wanna say a special thank you to everyone who came out here with bald caps tonight. It is amazing to see, it is amazing to feel, and I hope that when y’all put on those bald caps you feel just like I do; having a good mother-f------g time every day of my life!”

The video of Pitbull's reaction was shared on his social media channels, and one fan in the comments gushed: “See, the world loves you! Sold out Europe!"

Another fan declared: “We need more shows in Europe”.

A third wrote: “OMG looks amazing.”

And a fourth commented: “Pitbull for Super Bowl 2026.”

This is not the first time we’ve seen the public express their nostalgia for the 2010s. The 2016 makeup revival with heavy concealer became a TikTok trend last year and the Tumblr aesthetic has also made a comeback in the form of a filter.
