Brownsville, Texas – The court is on Cardi B‘s side! A Texas judge on Monday dismissed the copyright infringement lawsuit targeting the star’s song, Enough (Miami) on Monday.
Producers Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar sued Cardi in 2024, claiming she stole elements of their 2021 song Greasy Frybread for her hit.
Initially, they accused the rapper and her labels, Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group, of copyright infringement. The duo later dropped those claims after Cardi’s legal team pointed out that Greasy Frybread was not registered with the US Copyright Office, as per multiple media outlets.
The producers then refiled the lawsuit with a series of claims under Texas state law. Specifically, they claimed that Cardi used the beat and melody from their track without their permission.

Monday, US District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr dismissed the producers’ case, saying their suit had “fatal deficiencies,” including a lack of jurisdiction on the court’s behalf.
This is a clear win for Cardi, who’s been performing Enough (Miami) nightly on her Little Miss Drama Tour. The hugely popular track also hit number nine on the Billboard Charts when it came out.
