Cardi B has been sued for copyright infringement by two producers. Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, who also perform under the name Kemika1956, claim that Cardi stole the beat from her song “Greasy Frybread” to create her own song “Enough (Miami).”

In a lawsuit filed in Texas on July 3, Fraustro and Aguilar accuse Cardi B and the song’s producers – James D. Steed (DJ Swanqo) and Joshua Parker (OG Parker) – of copyright infringement on their song “Greasy Frybread” featuring Punkin’ Lusty. Fraustro and Aguilar filed their lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas.

The lawsuit claims the 2021 single became popular after it was played on the FX series “Reservation Dogs,” according to an initial report by Billboard. The song was used in the fourth episode of the series, with verses from Indigenous rapper Sten Joddi. Atlantic Records, Celebrity Booking Agency and Warner Music Group are also listed as defendants.

Fraustro and Aguilar are seeking damages for copyright infringement, unfair competition and violation of law.

“Enough (Miami)” was released in March of this year as Cardi’s second single of the year, following her appearance on Shakira’s “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.” Cardi hasn’t released a full album since her acclaimed “Invasion of Privacy,” which made her the first female rapper in history to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2019. However, Cardi has several commercially successful singles and collaborations to her name, including “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion and “Put It On Da Floor Again” with Latto, to name a few.
