Fergie Did Not Leave The Black Eyed Peas, Focusing On Solo Career

Fergie didn’t leave the Black Eyed Peas and isn’t planning to, a representative for the singer confirmed.

Social media users went into a frenzy after a rumor circulated that Fergie was leaving the Black Eyed Peas. Ahlan magazine reported Thursday that will.i.am said she was no longer in the group. In the interview, will.i.am said that “nobody is replacing Fergie” and that the Black Eyed Peas are working on a new project. He said former Pussycat Doll leader Nicole Scherzinger would be featured on the project

However, a representative for the singer told reporters that the songstress has not left the group. The representative said on Friday she is “concentrating on her new album and can’t wait for fans to hear it.”

Because of her album commitments, Fergie will not perform with the Black Eyed Peas at two events this weekend: Saturday’s opening ceremony for the UEFA Champions League final in Cardiff, Wales, and Sunday’s charity concert in Manchester, England, alongside Ariana Grande.
