A lawsuit is filed against Cardi B for alleged copyright infringement

Washington (USA), July 6: Grammy-winning rapper and songwriter Cardi B finds herself embroiled in a legal battle over allegations of copyright infringement in connection with her song “Enough (Miami).”

Producers Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, known as Kemika1956, have filed a lawsuit in Texas accusing Cardi B and her collaborators of using the beat of their song “Greasy Frybread” without permission, Variety reports.

The lawsuit, filed on July 3 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, names Cardi B and her song’s producers James D Steed (DJ Swanqo) and Joshua Parker (OG Parker).

According to producers, their song became popular after it was featured on the FX series “Reservation Dogs,” in an episode featuring verses by Indigenous rapper Sten Joddi.

According to Variety, Atlantic Records, Celebrity Booking Agency and Warner Music Group are also among the defendants named in the lawsuit.

Fraustro and Aguilar are seeking damages for copyright infringement, unfair competition and breach of law in connection with the alleged unauthorized use of their music in Cardi B’s single.

“Enough (Miami)” was released as Cardi B’s second single in March of this year.

Although she has since collaborated on tracks such as Shakira’s “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” Cardi has not released a full album since her critically acclaimed “Invasion of Privacy,” for which she became 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 hit “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion and “Put It On Da Floor Again” featuring Latto.
