UPDATE: “Don’t belive gossip about fergie leaving the group (we are never breaking up) its all lies!!!” will.i.am recently wrote on Twitter.

If a new report is true, The Black Eyed Peas could soon be losing some lady lumps.

According to RadarOnline.com, the Peas’ sole female singer - Fergie - is considering leaving the chart-topping act. This decision could affect a 2011 tour currently being planned.

So why is the 35-year-old thinking about making this move? Does she want to focus on her successful solo career? Is she looking to do more films like Nine?

An insider claims tension with one of her group members is a huge factor. “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,” the source stated. “Fergie just wants to get away from the whole thing.”

Her relationship with another man is also playing a role. Fergie is reportedly eager to start a family with husband Josh Duhamel. The two have been married since January 2009.

The Black Eyed Peas are still in the middle of their world tour. The group is next scheduled to perform in France on July 2.
