Fergie was also a successful solo artist while in the group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it was a lot to adjust to. Because at the time she was a giant star,\u201d Duhamel said on Thursday. \u201cEverywhere they\u2019d go in the world they sold out stadiums \u2026 I adjusted to it though. It took a little time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fergie officially left the Black Eyed Peas in 2018 to focus on her family. At the time, she and Duhamel had already separated. (<strong>J.
