But for Fergie's closest friends, like her long time Black Eyed Peas producer and songwriter DJ Poet, there have been tell tale signs for weeks now. Poet knew something was up as soon as Fergie announced the Black Eyed Peas hiatus.

"After our song 'Feel Alive' came out, they suddenly stopped any type of shows or work related stuff, so that was when I started thinking 'it's mama Ferga time!'" Poet tells Hollyscoop exclusively.
