Perez Hilton spoke with Will.i.am about what’s the deal on Fergie’s status in the group, because we see them together once in a blue-moon. But she is still recording as a solo artist, while the group is trying to make a come back.

Did she get the official boot and will she be replaced?

“As for replacing, what people know The Black Eyed Peas to be, nobody is replacing Fergie. She’s working on her solo project at the moment, we’re on this brand-new experience, celebrating 20 years of Black Eyed Peas putting out music. We worked on a bunch of songs on her solo record, we’re proud that she has her label, but Black Eyed Peas are pushing it forward in terms of content, technology and experiences on our new project, Masters of the Sun.”

There you have it folks.
