- Accepting his certificate, Pitbull praised fans known as 'Baldies,' stating, "It's a blessing, it's an honor." He compared them to Jimmy Buffett's "Parrotheads" and the Grateful Dead's "Deadheads."
- Pitbull performed "Wonderwall" in tribute to England's World Cup run, cementing a historic milestone that placed him alongside past BST Hyde Park performers like Garth Brooks.
