Ashanti replacing Fergie in the Black Eyed Peas?
 

MediaTakeOut.com caught wind last week of a rumor among industry insiders that FERGIE from the Black Eyed Peas would be LEAVING the group . .. and being replaced by ANOTHER female singer.

Well now MediaTakeOut.com just spoke with a TOP music industry exec who told us that the group is IN THE WORKS of replacing Fergie, with R&B singer ASHANTI!!!

The insider, who asked to remain anonymous told MediaTakeOut.com, "The group had been looking for a replacement for some time." Ashanti was reportedly brought onto the group's WORLD TOUR - as sort of an AUDITION, to see if she could work with the band - and it worked out PERFECTLY!!

Ashanti and The Black Eyed Peas have been ON TOUR together for nearly a month.

So when can we expect an OFFICIAL announcement? Well, a little birdie tells us that they haven't yet DOTTED the I's and CROSSED the T's yet, legally. But we can expect one in the next few days.

Oh . . . and to those that think that this CAN'T HAPPEN. Black Eyed Peas member Taboo announced earlier this week that as of Nov 23rd (the group's last OFFICIAL tour date) Fergie is taking an INDEFINITE LEAVE. Taboo told the newspaper The New Times. "We have to respect Ferg. Ferg is our sister. She definitely wants to have a family, and we're happy for her."

Good news if true.. Ashanti is much better

Not heard anything from her since the early 00's

Why can't they just go away :(

I thought they were dead and cremated! The only good one is fergie

FergieSolo>BEP

Better and much hotter

oh yeah Ashanti was amazing... with that song she had... and that other hit...

no i haven't got a sodding clue who she is or why she's famous. She got lost in amongst the other post-Aaliyah non-entities (of which Aaliyah would be one if she hadn't died young) like Amerie, Christina Milian and Mya.

She was in John Tucker Must Die

and Coach Carter <3

Why can't someone just tell the BEP to gtfo

I only ever liked one Ashanti song, "Only U" I think it was called, the others were dire.

I bought Fergie's solo album.

Go figure..

Foolish, Only You, and nearly all of Ashanti's features > Any of Fergie's solo stuff

Don't Let Them and Mesmerize are her only deccent songs :bored:

How dare she join this band over the amazing Fergie :love: It's not right without Fergie.

Agreed. Well past their sell-by date.

Fergie wasn't an original member anyway lol

Have you heard their first 2 albums?!

They were nothing until Fergie joined :love:

Is this 1 thing ya did.. woah-o-woah-o woaah!

her only song.
