Cardi B has secured another courtroom victory this time in a high-stakes copyright battle tied to one of her biggest recent records.

A U.S. federal judge has dismissed the $50 million copyright infringement lawsuit filed against the rapper over her 2024 single Enough (Miami), bringing an end at least for now to a case that had been building for nearly two years. 

The lawsuit, originally filed in 2024 by producers Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, alleged that Cardi’s track copied elements from their earlier song Greasy Frybread.  But the court didn’t even get to fully test that claim on its merits.

Instead, the case was dismissed on procedural and legal grounds. The judge pointed to key issues most notably that the plaintiffs did not have a valid copyright registration when they initially filed the lawsuit, a requirement for pursuing such claims in court.  The court also rejected attempts to amend the complaint, calling further changes “futile.” 

That distinction matters.

Because the dismissal was “without prejudice,” meaning the plaintiffs could still attempt to refile the case in another jurisdiction or under corrected legal conditions.  So while Cardi B walks away with a clear win, the door isn’t completely shut on the dispute.

Still, the impact is immediate.

For Cardi B, it’s another reinforcement of her legal standing and creative independence especially around a track that performed strongly commercially and marked her return to solo dominance on the charts.  For the industry, it highlights something deeper: the growing importance of copyright timing, registration, and legal precision in an era where disputes over sound, sampling, and influence are becoming more frequent.

It also fits into a broader pattern.

This is one of several recent legal victories for Cardi B, signaling a shift in how aggressively artists and their teams are defending both their work and their reputation in court.

Zoom out, and the story isn’t just about one case being dismissed.

It’s about the modern music business, where creativity moves fast but the law still demands structure. Miss a step, and even a $50 million claim can fall apart before it truly begins.

For now, Enough (Miami) stands where it started:

Untouched in court.

And still very much Cardi B’s record.
