will.i.am denies Black Eyes Peas split

Black Eyed Peas founder will.i.am has taken to Twitter to dispel rumours of the demise of the band.

“Why do people listen to rumors…”Me and @apl_de created the peas”…so…from the creators mouth…We are not breaking up…stop the rumors,” he tweeted.

Rumours of the breakup have been ongoing since July. Will.i.am actually started the rumour. “The @Bep will take a break after the beginning…just like we did from monkey business to the e.n.d…but it doesn’t mean we stop creating”, he tweeted back then.

Kanye West fuelled the story this week when he announced at his show, “Rest in peace to the Black Eyed Peas. You’re gonna be missed.”

That forced will.i.am to stomp out that new fire. “maybe @kanyewest was stating the fact we will take a rest for a little bit…but we the @bep will never die…never…impossible,” he tweeted after Kanye’s comments.
