Will.i.am reveals his Queens hero who inspired him to rap today (4/17) on Roxanne Shante's Have A Nice Day on LL COOL J's Rock The Bells Radio. "This is surreal to me because I wanted rap because of you and Biz," Will told Shante. "This is emotional for me right now, because you kept me safe when I was in the projects."

A humbled Shante replied that she loves the fact that she inspired a generation. "I love being your big sister, and keeping everyone safe" she replied. "I love that I can take people back to a point in their childhoods when they can remember when it was like this and you did it like this, but I am also thankful that y'all are doing it like this!"

Will also displayed his AI endeavor, FYI which he described as a combination of Zoom, texting and all of our favorite social media apps. Will.i.am revealed recently to Forbes that he no longer wishes to make music for business purposes. "Black Eyed Peas is a family and we will always make music as a friendship and bond," he explained.

"Solving problems with technology and putting teams together is synonymous with the work that I do philanthropically. I never in my life thought I'd be able to go to Harvard, and now I'm there. Going there to learn business after I had success in another business is a humbling experience."
