Is will.i.am right that it’s a mistake not to see the Black Eyed Peas as a Black group just because they had international success?

Will.i.am may have released his fourth solo album, #willpower in 2013 but he just made a video for his Nicole Scherzinger collaboration, “Mona Lisa.”  In the second video, he talks about being inspired by the Mona Lisa painting, the concept of the visual and he and his Black Eyed Pea band members filmed it at the Louvre early one morning after giving a concert.

will.i.am’s “Willpower” is more of his hip-hop inspired dance-pop.
