Black Eyed Peas lyricist Will.i.Am is speaking out against reports that he and his entourage beat razor-tongued celebrity snitch Perez Hilton to a bloody pulp after the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto Sunday night.

On Friday, the Black Eyed Peas — Will.i.am, Apl.de.ap, Fergie, and Taboo –karate-kicked their way onto New York City’s Rockefeller Plaza to perform a live set of their hits as part of The Today Show’s annual Summer Concert Series.

The B.E.P.’s new album, The E.N.D., is available now.

The track will serve as the first single off of the recently reunited hitmakers’ comeback album, The E.N.D.

B.E.P’s will.i.am is putting the finishing touches on his upcoming solo CD titled “Songs About Girls,” and Fergie’s sidekick promises a disc that will show his softer side.

“I never really had an aspiration to do a solo album,” revealed will.i.am. “I always wanted to be in a group, but I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity to try and reinvent myself.”

Songs About Girls will experiment with styles like classic R&B and rock and will not feature any guest appearances:

“I don’t think I would be doing myself justice if I went in on my solo project and got a whole lot of other people to dilute the concept I have in my head,” he explained. ” I want to make the kind of record that I’m feeling. If people like it, that’s cool, but just so I get my nut off.”

Songs About Girls will hit store shelves this summer.

He was released last night and no date has been set yet for his court appearance.
