A Judge Has Seen ‘Enough’ of the Copyright Lawsuit Against Cardi B
- Texas U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez dismissed the $50 million copyright lawsuit against Cardi B without prejudice.
- The suit claimed Cardi copied 'Greasy Frybread' from Fraustro and Aguilar for 'Enough (Miami)'.
- The court found the state claims preempted by federal copyright law and noted Cardi’s Texas shows were not unusually separate.
- The ruling allows the plaintiffs to refile in another forum if they choose.
- Cardi B’s legal team described the order as a significant victory.
- Fraustro and Aguilar had initially alleged that Cardi performed in Texas to bolster their case.
- The plaintiffs eventually obtained a copyright registration for 'Greasy Frybread' in October 2025.
- The judge’s ruling followed arguments that the case lacked proper copyright registration at the outset.
- The case involved claims the song harmed Fraustro and Aguilar’s reputations in the music industry.
- The article notes Cardi B has had previous legal victories in other cases.
