Two Texas-based plaintiffs, Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar (Kemika1956), claim their 2021 song "Greasy Frybread" was used without permission. The song, recorded by Sten Joddi and released through Tattoo Muzik Group Studios, gained notable exposure through its feature in FX's Reservation Dogs series.

Key details of the lawsuit:

  • Defendants include Cardi B, Warner Music Group, Atlantic Records, producers OG Parker and DJ SwanQo, and Celebrity Booking Agency
  • The allegedly infringed work "Greasy Frybread" is available on Spotify and was featured in Reservation Dogs' first season
  • Plaintiffs seek temporary and permanent injunctions to halt distribution of "Enough (Miami)"
  • Additional demands include damages and attorneys' fees
  • Claims include vicarious and contributory infringement, unfair competition, and misappropriation

This case joins recent high-profile music industry lawsuits, including Drake's merchandise dispute over "Members Only" t-shirts, Louis Vuitton and Pharrell Williams' Pocket Socks controversy, and major labels' legal action against AI platforms Suno and Udio for alleged copyright violations.
