Present-day developments: Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas reunion just hit the nostalgia button hard
Fergie alongside will.i.am, Taboo, and apl.de.ap? Sometimes the timeline gets it right.
The Black Eyed Peas reunited with Fergie at the 2026 American Music Awards, marking their first public appearance together in years as they accepted Best Throwback Song for their 2010 hit “Rock That Body.”
One award-show reunion, one son’s playlist shoutout, and suddenly the 2000s pop machine is humming again like it never left.

After years of stepping away from the group following massive world tours, blockbuster singles, and full pop-domination mode, it looks like the Hacienda Heights girl may be feeling the pull again — and we have her son Axl partly to thank.
During the acceptance speech, Fergie gave love to fans and social media users for keeping the track alive on TikTok and Instagram, saying the revived moment helped get “Rock That Body” onto Axl’s playlist. That little mom moment? Cute. Full-circle. Very pop-history healing.
The Black Eyed Peas have kept moving in the years since Fergie stepped away, but there is something very specific about the Fergie-era BEP chemistry — that glossy, chaotic, futuristic, club-pop tornado that helped define an entire stretch of 2000s and early-2010s radio.
No official new era has been confirmed, but this appearance definitely cracked the door open for fans who have been waiting to see Fergie, will.i.am, Taboo, and apl.de.ap share the stage again.
