It’s been a good season for Cardi B – in court, at least.
Just months after dodging an assault and battery lawsuit, the Grammy-winning rapper has picked up another win.
This time, a Texas judge has dismissed a hefty $50 million copyright case tied to her track Enough (Miami).
On march 30, US district Judge Fernando Rodriguez threw out the lawsuit filed by Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, who claimed Cardi’s song “copied, misappropriated and profited” from their track Greasy Frybread.
The ruling? Dismissed without prejudice – basically, not worth continuing in its current form.
The plaintiffs argued Cardi “unlawfully duplicated” their work and said the release damaged their reputation and got them “blacklisted.” Bold claims – but the court was not sold.
Cardi’s legal team fired back with a key point: the song in question was not even properly copyrighted at the time. And when the plaintiffs tried to lean on Texas law (because Cardi performed there), the judge shut that down too, calling further amendments “futile.”
Translation: the case did not have legs.
In fact, the copyright for Greasy Frybread was not secured until October 2025 – over a year after the lawsuit was filed. Not exactly ideal timing.
“Obviously, we are very pleased with today’s order and appreciate the court’s careful consideration of the issues,” said Cardi’s attorney, Lisa F. Moore.
Meanwhile, Cardi is busy doing what she does best – performing. Her Little Miss Drama Tour rolls through April 18, drama-free… at least for now.
