The pair were in the green room when Taylor allegedly made a remark about an attack that Ma's stepdaughter was the victim of.
She claimed it triggered her to attack her and that she punched her, leaving her with a black eye.
In 2008, Ma accused friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph of stealing $3,000 out of her purse.
She shot her twice in the stomach as a result of the dispute. The rapper was sentenced to spend eight years in prison but served six.
She is still on probation.

They have vowed to fight the charge.
Taylor made their disagreement public last month by sharing a photograph of herself on Instagram in which she appeared to have a black eye.
She has deleted the post since but it was captioned: 'So, here am I on my way to a very important meeting and it’s hard to even focus because of what occurred last night.
'I didn’t wanna bring it to social media because Its pretty embarrassing and not a good look tbh.
'I tried my best to cover it up with make up and move on but that still didn’t work.
'My Question is @remyma why did you really do this?'
Taylor's attorneys say she is cooperating with the police. She has also sued Ma for damages.
'This arrest demonstrates how serious this matter is, it is real life and not reality TV entertainment.
'The victim Brittney Taylor has confidence in our system of justice and will continue to fully cooperate with the authorities,' her lawyer, Sanford Rubenstein, told E! News last month.
