Cardi B faces $50 million copyright infringement lawsuit

• Cardi B was sued for copyright infringement by two singers for allegedly using their song in her track “Enough (Miami)” without permission.
• According to the lawsuit documents obtained by TMZ, it was alleged that Cardi B and her producers used elements of their 2021 song “Greasy Frybread” in her track.

Popular American rapper Cardi B is currently facing legal action for suspected copyright infringement.

The lawsuit against Cardi B was filed by two singers from Texas and Oklahoma over allegations that she used their song in her track “Enough (Miami)” without seeking proper authorization.

It is worth noting that “Enough (Miami)” by Cardi B was met with commercial success, charting within the top 10 upon its release in March.

According to sources, Miguel Aguilar, also known as Kemika 1956, and Joshua Fraustro, or Sten Joddi, have pointed out that Cardi B and her production team incorporated elements from their 2021 song “Greasy Frybread” into her track.

The plaintiffs have emphasized that their song was even featured as a promotional asset for the FX series “Reservation Dogs.”

Not only Cardi B, but Atlantic Records, Warner Music Group, and producers OG Parker and DJ SwanQo have also been listed as co-defendants in this lawsuit.

Interestingly, “Greasy Frybread” by the plaintiffs had been released approximately three years prior to Cardi B dropping “Enough (Miami)” on March 15, 2024.
