Cardi B just scored another courtroom win after a federal judge tossed out a $50 million copyright lawsuit tied to her single “Enough (Miami).”
According to court docs, U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez dismissed the case, filed by Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, without prejudice on March 30. The pair had accused Cardi of copying their track “Greasy Frybread,” which they say they produced for Sten Joddi.
The plaintiffs claimed Cardi’s 2024 release “Enough (Miami)” borrowed from their record and hurt their reputation in the industry. But Cardi’s legal team argued the song they cited wasn’t even properly copyright protected at the time the lawsuit was filed.
The court ultimately sided with Cardi, rejecting the duo’s attempt to apply Texas law (despite arguments tied to her performances in the state) and calling further amendments to the case “futile.”
Cardi’s attorneys also suggested the lawsuit pivoted after it became clear the plaintiffs didn’t have a valid copyright registration. Notably, “Greasy Frybread” wasn’t officially registered until October 2025 — more than a year after the suit was filed.
“Obviously, we are very pleased with today’s order,” Cardi’s attorney Lisa F. Moore said following the decision.
