Keri Hilson was never asked to be a part of BEPs.

They worked heavily with a girl, I believe her name is Kim Hill, before Fergie joined the group on 'E'lephunk' and Fergie ended up replacing Kim Hill-who was simply like a backup singer for the group in the 1990s.

The Peas still do make contentious songs, check out "One Tribe" from their album 'The E.N.D.'
