Cardi B Hit With $50M Lawsuit Over ‘Enough (Miami)’ Copyright Claims – Power 98 FM

Rapper Cardi B is back in the headlines. She is reportedly being sued for copyright infringement by two artists claiming portions of their song  appear on her track “Enough (Miami).” According to TMZ, Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, known as Sten Joddi and Kemikal956, respectively, claim their song “Greasy Frybread” was created in 2021 and appeared in a promotional campaign for the FX series Reservation Dogs.
Fraustro and Aguilar allege in the suit to have suffered “substantial damage” that includes financial losses and “irreparable harm” to their reputation and marketability.
Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group, as well as the song’s producers OG Parker and DJ SwanQo, are named in the lawsuit. Fraustro and Aguilar are seeking $50 million in damages, per legal documents viewed by the New York Daily News and MySA.
Interestingly, some people took to the FX Networks YouTube channel to comment and share their thoughts on the Reservation Dogs “Greasy Frybread” music video. It’s worth mentioning that the video was posted two years ago. One person asked, “Who here because Cardi B???”
Another person responded to this comment writing, “Yeeeeeaaaaa she gotta pay up.” Some people couldn’t seem to find copyright infringement in the song. “I just don’t hear it. This song is pretty legit though,” someone said.
Following the release of “Enough (Miami),” Cardi revealed on Instagram Live that the song was originally titled “And Her Name Is Cardi K” because she felt like “b–ches was ganging up on me.”
“I feel like I was very like underestimated,” she explained at the time. “Even my fan base, it’s big but it’s a very underestimated fanbase. So Cardi K, I don’t know if you know how people be like EBK, Everybody Killer, so I just felt like everybody was on some Cardi K s—. Oh yeah on some Cardi Killer s—, then f— you hoes. F— you bitches!”
Cardi B has yet to confirm a release date for her long-awaited sophomore studio album, but on June 29, she posted on X (formerly Twitter), “I have everything planned, locked, and ready to go. Every thing I said I would do this year, I’m going to do it. Nothing is going to stop me. I proved myself before, and I’m going to do it again… now rest.”
Last year September, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion won a court ruling tossing out a lawsuit that accused them of stealing the lyrics to their smash hits “WAP” and “Thot S—” from an earlier track called “Grab Em by the P—-.” Billboard reported that In a decision issued on Aug. 29, 2023, a Manhattan federal judge ruled that the lyrics Cardi and Megan were accused of copying in their songs  “p—- so wet” and “n—-s wild’n” were simply too unoriginal to be covered by copyright law.
“The lyrics over which plaintiff asserts copyright protection are no more than common phrases, employed frequently in popular culture and other Hip-Hop songs,” U.S. District Judge Andrew L. Carter wrote.
