Award-winning kwaito star Professor and his crew apparently had a slight "disagreement" with the boys from award-winning house group Mi Casa.
The incident happened in the early hours of Monday morning at the Polokwane Cricket Club during Limpopo's most celebrated event, the Mapungubwe Arts and Cultural Festival.
Sunday Sun reportedly witnessed some shoving, pushing and the use of derogatory words.
This resulted in Mi Casa's new manager, Collin Mokgaotsi, going to the cops for help after getting a slap from Professor's crew.
The brawl was about who gets the spotlight first. Professor wanted to perform before Mi Casa even though he arrived late.
But Sunday Sun revealed that Mi Casa arrived an hour early for their performance.
One of the MCs, who also witnessed the fight, told Sunday Sun that Professor said he didn't want to perform for half a crowd.
People were already leaving the event due to the cold weather.
Professor's name did not appear on the official programme for the event, but he was announced by the MC mid-concert, after popular group Uhuru cancelled their gig to perform in Miami in the US.
The MC said: "Professor came in as a replacement for Uhuru, who cancelled at the last minute.
"He found Mi Casa ready after they had waited an hour for their turn to go on stage.
"Professor then decided that he wanted to perform before them.
The MC added: "Professor and his crew, together with his brother DJ Mngani, were unruly.
"They started pushing the Mi Casa boys, J'Something, Dr Duda and Mo T. But the Mi Casa boys didn't want to get into a fight.
"And that's when their manager got a shisa mpama."
To express his anger, Professor took to Twitter and blamed everything on Mi Casa.
His tweet reads: I have to say am disappointed@MiCasaMusic for the unruly behaviour. I don't usually say things like this but they act like girls.
He further said: How can I get discriminated in my own country they just called us funking zulus in Polokwane. I can't believe.
At the event Professor refused to perform, saying: "The police want to arrest me. I'm not going on stage. I'm not doing that," he said.
The argument then went on between the police, Mi Casa and the Festival MC.
Professor only went on stage after he pulled J'Something from the commotion to make peace and they temporarily reconciled.
Kalawa Jazmee's publicist, Scotch, said: "This is the first time I'm hearing about this.
"I know Professor was performing in Polokwane, replacing Uhuru after there was a last minute commitment to go to Miami.
"But I haven't been briefed about what happened there."
Later in the week, Professor updated his Twitter status, saying: @MiCasaMusic I truly regret what I said cause they had nothing to do with everything. My apologies. Me and my boys are cool.
Meanwhile Gospel stars Rebecca Malope and Winnie Mashaba also had their backstage problems.
Sunday Sun has learnt that Winnie took longer on stage as Malope was waiting for her turn.
