US EditionCardi B Defeats ‘Enough (Miami)’ Song Copying Lawsuit: ‘No Factual Support’
A Texas federal judge dismissed the suit citing lack of jurisdiction and insufficient factual allegations despite the song charting for 14 weeks, plaintiffs dropped federal claims.
- On Monday, District Judge Fernando Rodriguez dismissed a lawsuit against rapper Belcalis Almanzar, known as Cardi B, regarding copyright claims over her 2024 single "Enough ."
- Producers Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar filed the litigation two years ago, alleging the rapper copied the melody and bassline from their track "Greasy Frybread" created for Sten Joddi.
- After dropping federal claims because "Greasy Frybread" lacked U.S. Copyright Office registration, the plaintiffs refiled under Texas law, but Judge Rodriguez ruled that performing in the state fails to establish jurisdiction.
- The court also dismissed third-party infringement claims against Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group, ruling the lack of copyright registration rendered the allegations defective.
