  • Cardi B Wins Legal Battle Over “Enough (Miami)”

    Big news for Cardi B fans! The rap superstar has just secured a significant win in a legal dispute concerning her track “Enough (Miami).” This latest victory adds another win to Cardi’s impressive streak of overcoming legal challenges.

    The Copyright Infringement Claim

    The drama kicked off back in 2024 when artists Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, also known as Kemikal956, filed a lawsuit against Cardi B. They accused her of copyright infringement, claiming that “Enough (Miami)” lifted elements from their song, “Greasy Frybread.”

    To add context, “Greasy Frybread” had previously been featured in the promotion for the FX series *Reservation Dogs* and was released three years before Cardi’s hit. Fraustro and Aguilar were particularly concerned about the song appearing on Cardi’s sophomore album, *Am I The Drama?*, arguing that its inclusion would cause irreparable and incalculable damages.

    A Judge’s Decision

    However, a federal judge in Texas has now dismissed the lawsuit. The reason? The case was filed in the wrong jurisdiction. While this is a win for Cardi B, the dismissal was without prejudice. This means Fraustro and Aguilar still have the option to refile their case in the correct court if they choose to pursue it further.

    More Legal Wins for Cardi B

    This isn’t the first time Cardi B has successfully navigated the legal system. Remember the high-profile defamation lawsuit she won against gossip blogger Tasha K back in 2022? Tasha K was ordered to pay a hefty $3.9 million judgment.

    Recently, Tasha K even launched a GoFundMe to help settle the debt, acknowledging that while she initially wanted to handle it alone, she’s now listening to her supporters. It’s clear Cardi B knows how to stand her ground both in music and in court.
