WILL.I.AM AMAZED BY APL.DE.AP’S FAME IN PHILIPPINES
THE BLACK EYED PEAS star WILL.I.AM is in awe of his bandmate APL.DE.AP’s superstar status in his native Philippines, and insists the rapper will soon be the group’s best known member.
apl.de.ap - real name Allan Pineda Lindo - is so well-known in the Philippines, he has been the subject of a movie biopic and even has his own day.
will.i.am says, "The frontperson for The Black Eyed Peas in 2007 ain’t going to be the front person in 2020. It won’t be Fergie, it won’t be will.i.am, it’s going to be Allan Pineda.
"They made a movie about him in the Philippines, his whole life story.
"They gave him his own day - July 24 is the official Allan Pineda day in the Philippines. I was there when the president gave it to him. I was like, ‘Wow, dude, I ain’t never going to get no day.’ "Neil Armstrong, he walked on the moon and he doesn’t have his own day. One giant leap for mankind, but he still got no day."
