Though she’s part of one of the most successful acts of the moment, singer Stacy Ann Ferguson, also known as Fergie, is making plans to leave the Black Eyed Peas, Radar Online has learned. This doesn’t even have anything to do with the fact that Fergie also proved she can have a successful solo career apart from the BEP, the report says, but with Will.i.am’s massive ego, which makes working with him nearly impossible.

According to ongoing reports – originating, as is almost always the case, from unnamed but reliable sources – Fergie has made up her mind and will not even consider allowing herself to be talked out of her decision. She wants to leave the band because putting up with Will.i.am’s antics is simply not worth it. However, that’s not to say that she’ll start work on a solo project right away, because she’s giving motherhood a serious thought as well, the tipsters dish.

“Fergie is on the verge of leaving the Black Eyed Peas permanently as tension in the band has become intolerable for her, Radar Online has learned exclusively. The band has a full tour schedule for the summer and is planning a tour for early 2011. But Fergie won’t commit for that part of the tour, we learned, and the reason is she’s talking about leaving the band for good. Fergie can’t stand Will.I.Am and that is one of the main reasons she wants to leave the band, a source close to them told Radar Online exclusively. The other reason is she’s decided she wants to have a baby!” Radar writes.

“Fergie is saying she wants out of the band and the second half of the tour isn’t confirmed for early next year. Things have gotten really bad with Will.i.Am. And it’s not just Fergie who is clashing with him. So is the rest of the band. His ego is out of control. Fergie just wants to get away from the whole thing. I don’t know if she’ll admit or deny it when it leaks out, but I do know that it’s 100 percent true, she’s got everything planned out and she says she can’t be convinced to change her mind. And she really wants a baby with Josh. Between that and the bad blood with Will, it looks like the 2011 tour is in big trouble and she’s saying she’s going to split for good,” the insider reveals.

As also noted above, the Black Eyed Peas are now in the middle of an international tour that is selling incredibly well so, if the above is accurate and Fergie has indeed decided to leave the group, it means things with Will.i.am are really bad. Reps for members of the BEP have not been immediately available for comment on this at the time of writing but rest assured that, if this is true, you will find out about it here.
