According to sources, the former TOWIE star, 32, had his ears pinned back and spent his recovery at his Essex home last month following his rehab stint to overcome a cocaine addiction.
The singer is said to have lashed out at the media personality, 39, before she decided to end their seven-year relationship for good.
An insider told The Sun: ‘Gemma thinks James spends money like water and they had a massive row about who would pay for a flight abroad.
‘She told him he had his own money and he should pay up and he exploded and called her all the names under the sun because he believed Gemma would pay for it.
‘Gemma moaned James is always broke and she was sick of bankrolling him. It was one of their nastiest ever fights and was really toxic.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for James and Gemma for further comment.
Arg is currently in Spain to perform at his friend Elliot Wright’s restaurant Olivia’s La Cala later in the week.
It was reported on Monday that Gemma had decided to split with Arg after he told her he wanted to move to Spain and have an open relationship.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Arg went to Spain and he told Gemma that he wants to go back there forever and be in an open relationship.
‘Gemma feels like she’s done everything she possibly can to help Arg but enough is enough. He said that he wants to stay in Spain for good which is worrying as he is known to have suffered relapses there in the past.
‘Gemma was devastated by the conversation and decided to end their relationship entirely – she feels like she had no choice but to walk away.
‘It couldn’t have ended any worse; she has been in floods of tears and has even blocked Arg on social media.’
The Essex native also uploaded a cryptic post about the ‘Top 10 Signs of Emotional Abuse In A Relationship’ and ‘finding the strength to walk away’ on Monday evening.
The TV star wrote: ‘To all who have suffered in lock down or are suffering in general. please please find your strength to walk away.
‘There is a better life for you filled with love and respect and always remember the problem isn’t within you it’s within them.
‘Walk away it’s never too late. something will happen one day and you will just say enough is enough.
‘It’s in that moment the nightmare is over. this is when you find your strength and this is when you will learn self love.’ (sic)
Arg, who has shed five stone following rehab, recently admitted he is a cocaine addict and overdosed twice last year before hitting rock bottom over Christmas and calling his friend and former co-star Mark Wright for help.

Gemma originally dumped Arg after he refused rehab and said their relationship was over until he beat his addiction once and for all.
But less than three weeks later, MailOnline exclusively revealed the reality TV pair were spotted holding hands and kissing on a romantic trip to the £250-a-night Palazzo Versace Hotel.
The duo briefly dated in 2012, before embarking on a tumultuous love story from December 2017.
