Overview
- A federal judge in Texas threw out producers’ claims that Cardi B’s “Enough (Miami)” copied their track “Greasy Frybread” after finding the court lacked personal jurisdiction.
- The judge wrote the claims would also fail on substance, pointing to federal copyright law that preempts the state claims and to weak facts linking any harm to Cardi B.
- The case was dismissed without prejudice, which leaves refiling in a proper court on the table, though the judge called further amendments in Texas futile.
- Plaintiffs Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, the duo Kemikal956, filed the suit over their 2021 song made with Reservation Dogs rapper character Sten Joddi.
- The decision adds to Cardi B’s recent legal streak, including a 2022 win over mixtape cover art, a $4 million defamation verdict against Tasha K, and a 2025 Los Angeles jury finding her not liable in an assault case.
