Rap star Cardi B obtained a definitive victory in court. On Monday, US District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. dismissed the copyright infringement lawsuit against the artist, her label Atlantic Records, and Warner Music Group related to her 2024 single, “Enough (Miami).” According to People, the legal dispute was initiated by the musical duo Kemika1956, comprised of Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar. The plaintiffs alleged that Cardi B's song used unauthorized elements from their 2021 song, “Greasy Frybread,” which gained notoriety after being featured on the FX series “Reservation Dogs.” The duo was seeking $50 million in damages. In his ruling, Judge Rodriguez Jr. determined that the Texas court did not have “personal jurisdiction” over Cardi B. The judge explained that the rapper's sporadic performances in the state as part of national tours were not sufficient proof that she “specifically targeted” the Texas market to establish a legal basis there. In addition to the jurisdictional issue, the rapper's defense highlighted a fatal flaw in the lawsuit: the duo had not formally registered their song with the US Copyright Office before initiating legal action, an essential requirement for this type of federal litigation. Although the plaintiffs attempted to reframe the case under Texas state law to circumvent this obstacle, the judge ruled that federal copyright law prevails in these matters. The judge was emphatic in stating that even if jurisdiction existed, the lawsuit would have been rejected for failing to present valid arguments demonstrating plagiarism. Furthermore, the possibility of submitting new amendments to the complaint was denied, with any future attempts deemed "futile."
