"U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez dismissed the complaint without prejudice, allowing plaintiffs Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar to potentially refile their complaint regarding Cardi B's song 'Enough (Miami).'"
"Fraustro and Aguilar claimed that 'Enough (Miami)' caused them to be 'blacklisted' and experience 'reputational harm within the music industry,' following their allegations of copyright infringement."
"Judge Rodriguez ruled that the plaintiffs' state claims were preempted by federal copyright law, stating that Cardi's performances in Texas did not provide sufficient jurisdiction for the case."
"Cardi's attorney expressed satisfaction with the ruling, stating, 'Obviously, we are very pleased with today's order and appreciate the court's careful consideration of the issues.'"
