Fergie Just Reunited With the Black Eyed Peas at the AMAs โ The Internet Lost It ๐ค๐ฅ๐ฅน
Nobody saw it coming. And everybody lost it.
Fergie reunited with the Black Eyed Peas at the 2026 American Music Awards in Las Vegas on May 25th โ joining will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo on stage to accept the Best Throwback Song Award for their 2009 hit Rock That Body. It was an emotional moment that received a standing ovation โ almost a decade since Fergie departed the group.
The classic four-person lineup had only quietly reunited for the very first time in December 2025, gathering privately to mark all four members turning 50. Monday night's stage appearance was the next chapter โ and this time, the whole world was watching.
Fergie held tightly onto will.i.am and Taboo's hands throughout her speech โ thanking fans for making content and voting: "Sometimes, the content you make is so big and the feelings are so big for me it's overwhelming. There's so much love that you put into it and I just wanna say thank you. I see you. You mean so much."
And then came the moment that broke the internet. Despite the many hits she made with the Black Eyed Peas, it's Rock That Body that finally made her and ex Josh Duhamel's 12-year-old son Axl put their song on his playlist. "I finally, finally get to say this on TV," she teased โ then beamed: "Hi Axl! Rock That Body โ we did it!"
During their run together, Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas sold more than 80 million albums worldwide and topped the Billboard Hot 100 three times. And tonight โ even for just a few minutes โ they were four again.
Is a full reunion coming? Nobody's saying yet. But after that speech, that standing ovation, and those hands held tight on that stage โ the door is wide open. ๐ค
