Major throw-down occurs between two legendary singers during a concert in Atlanta. 

According to newsnerd.com, actress and singer Patti Labelle was arrested after a fist fight with Aretha Franklin during an R&B/Soul concert in Atlanta on Thursday, March 20.  

The fight occurred as a result of Labelle's anger over a recent run-in with Franklin during the White House "Women of Soul" concert earlier in March. 

Franklin was making her way to the stage, and during the brief encounter, Labelle extended her hand to greet Franklin but she ignored the gesture and avoided Labelle as she continued her walk to the stage. 

Both singers then exchanged obscenities after the White House event and went their separate ways.

The feud didn't end there, during the concert in Atlanta, Labelle attempted to approach Franklin in an effort to reconcile their issues but the "Queen of Soul," once again, avoided Labelle. 

According to onlookers, Labelle, refusing to be ignored, removed her wig and earrings as she approached Franklin, signaling she wants a fight.

Franklin then tried to prepare herself for the confrontation but was quickly hit with a "Mayweather" style left and right hook, according to newsnerd.com.

Franklin then stumbled backwards and proceeded to fall to the ground. Bystanders subdued Labelle and escorted her outside of the venue. 

Labelle was soon charged with assault and battery and was released on $10,000 bail. She is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, April 16. 

Fortunately, Franklin suffered only minor injuries.
