Cardi B and her record labels have notched a victory after a lawsuit accusing them of sampling another artist's song without permission was tossed out of court. The case, filed by Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, was dismissed due to lack of personal jurisdiction. Details emerged from new legal documents obtained by TMZ.
Cardi B just dodged a legal bullet in the Lone Star State. Producers Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, who go by Kemika 1956, sued her back in July 2024. They claimed her March 2024 banger 'Enough (Miami)' lifted parts from their 2021 track 'Greasy Frybread' without asking nicely. 😏 The suit also dragged in Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group as co-defendants, per docs obtained by TMZ. Filed in a Texas court, the whole thing got yeeted because the judge said plaintiffs couldn't prove the court had jurisdiction over the drama. Translation: wrong zip code for the beef. No word yet on whether Fraustro and Aguilar will try their luck elsewhere. Eyes are peeled for any refile action. Will this tea stay cold, or is round two brewing? 👀
