On a recent legal development, McAllen, Texas artists Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar have filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Grammy-winning artist Cardi B.
The lawsuit, lodged in the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas, claims that Cardi B’s song “Enough (Miami)” unlawfully incorporates elements of their track “Greasy Frybread” without permission.
According to the Valley Central the plaintiffs are seeking $50 million in damages, citing substantial financial losses and irreparable harm.
