Cardi B just got sued over her ‘Miami’ single. Think it sounds like this other song?
“Did a lot of winnin’, lot of scorin’. Cardi Bryant, Cardi Jordan. These b----es sore losers and they can’t do it.”
Local folks had a vested interest in listening to the NSFW lyrics on Cardi B’s recent single, “Enough (Miami)” because it had our city in the title, naturally.
The 31-year-old hip hopper has said the club hit was inspired by rivals who have bullied her throughout her career.
“Enough (Miami)” did well, becoming Cardi’s first Top 10 solo song since 2021’s “Up.” But not everyone is pumped for her.
Namely two artists by the name of Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar — better known by their stage names Sten Joddi and Kemika1956, respectively.
The Texas based indigenous rappers filed a copyright infringement lawsuit in Texas on Wednesday, claiming the Atlantic Records track sounds a little too close to theirs.
The tune in question is 2021’s “Greasy Frybread,” which was featured in FX’s “Reservation Dogs,” about indigenous teens in Oklahoma.
Joddi, who plays Punkin’ Lusty in the series, appears in the music video for the song celebrating the popular, traditional snack eaten by Native Americans.
“Got your auntie in the kitchen, like no he didn’t! Got your grandma’s skillet, like she about to kill it.”
OK, we’re no experts, but the trap style synth beats on both songs are definitely similar. According to Wednesday’s filing, that’s not just a coincidence. The duo allege Cardi used parts of “Greasy Frybread” without their permission — and they want payback.
The entertainers claim they’ve endured “substantial” financial losses as well as harm to their reputations in the industry since Cardi’s track dropped.
Damages Joddi and Kemika are seeking? $50 million.
