$50 Million Copyright Lawsuit Against Cardi B Dismissed By Texas Judge | Cardi B, Music | Celebrity News and Gossip | Entertainment, Photos and Videos

Cardi B has scored a victory in a copyright lawsuit filed against her.

The 33-year-old rapper was sued by producers Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar in July 2024, after they claimed her song “Enough (Miami)” had “copied, misappropriated and profited” off of their song, “Greasy Frybread.”

Per People, US District Judge Fernando Rodriguez dismissed the suit without prejudice on Monday (March 30).

The plaintiffs alleged that Cardi B “unlawfully duplicated” their song and released her own without their permission, causing them “reputational harm within the music industry and caused them to be blacklisted.”

Cardi‘s lawyers filed multiple motions in the case, claiming the original song was not copyright protected.

The plaintiffs also argued that because she put on shows in Texas, the state’s law should apply, however, the judge shut it down and said it would be “futile” for them to file another amendment.

For the move to Texas, the rapper’s lawyers said they believe the producers tried moving the case to the state’s law because they “belatedly realized — after [Cardi’s] counsel brought it to their attention — that they lacked a copyright registration.”

The judge noted they don’t have jurisdiction over Cardi in Texas and her performances there were no different than in any other state, meaning it was insufficient to establish general jurisdiction.

“In addition, even if personal jurisdiction existed, each of plaintiffs’ causes of action would be subject to dismissal for failing to state a claim upon which relief can be granted,” he wrote in the court docs, via Rolling Stone.

“Obviously, we are very pleased with today’s order and appreciate the court’s careful consideration of the issues,” Cardi’s lawyer, Lisa F. Moore, shared in a statement.

Since they first filed suit, the plaintiffs secured a copyright in October 2025, over a year after their initial filing.

Cardi B is currently on the road, performing her Little Miss Drama Tour across North America, which had three performances in Texas earlier this month. Check out the set list!
