Fraustro and Aguilar are seeking damages for copyright infringement, unfair competition, and misappropriation related to the alleged unauthorized use of their music in Cardi B’s single.
‘Enough (Miami)’ was released in March of this year as Cardi B’s second single.
While she has since collaborated on tracks like Shakira’s ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,’ Cardi has not released a full-length album since her highly acclaimed ‘Invasion of Privacy,’ which made her the first female rapper to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2019.
Despite this, Cardi B continues to enjoy success with several commercially successful singles and collaborations, including the chart-topping ‘WAP’ featuring Megan Thee Stallion and ‘Put It On Da Floor Again’ with Latto. (ANI)
