Cardi B is staring down a possible $50 million copyright infringement lawsuit against her for her song “Enough (Miami)” as plaintiffs Miguel Aguilar, a.k.a. Kemika 1956, and Joshua Fraustro, a.k.a. Sten Joddi, accuse her of illegally using their song “Greasy Frybread.”
The suit was brought by the creators of “Greasy Frybread,” Miguel Aguilar and Joshua Fraustro, who claim that Cardi B, with her producers, used their 2021 track in significant sections without credit or authority. In the lawsuit, other co-defendants are Atlantic Records, Warner Music Group, and producers OG Parker and DJ SwanQo.
“Enough (Miami)” released on March 15, 2025, with lyrics where Cardi B compares herself to the sports legends Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. Its music video was a fierce manifesto of sorts, with Cardi B oozing the kind of fearlessness and bravado in fashion that only resided in the mid-aughts and underscored her ebullient persona to carry the fiery empowerment anthems of the song.
The lawsuit further argues that “Greasy Frybread” was also a promotional work for the FX hit series “Reservation Dogs. “This adds to some intricacies of the case because it paints a picture of how the implication went beyond the track by Cardi B and probably had its way on the promotional ad for a hit television series.
Representing Cardi B in this high-stakes case is popular Peter Anderson, a go-to entertainment attorney. Of the high-class instances in the industry he usually handles, Anderson alone is a significant weight that the defense carries. One should presume that he will argue the complexity and difficulties of copyright law in proving such matters.
But controversy or not, “Enough (Miami)” has seen massive success since its release. Though scandal brewed thanks to her lawsuit, it now opens questions as to whether her song was completely unoriginal and whether Cardi B was a cheater on the art game.
