MS rapper back in jail after TikTok video blasting judge, prosecutor and media

A Mississippi sex offender first took to TikTok last year seemingly for laughs, posting a video of herself lip-syncing to Tyler Perry’s Madea while portraying the prying off of her court-ordered ankle monitor.

The self-proclaimed Biloxi rapper, Ayiesha Cook Bowdry — known as @momoney_27 on TikTok — went viral with the clip that shows her using a slathering of butter cream lotion, a rat tail comb and scissors to tamper with her tracking device.

The 15-second video, which also features a Madea scene involving an ankle monitor in the background, racked up over 184,000 views and over 10,000 likes.

After a Mississippi probation officer brought the video to the attention of Harrison County Judge Lisa Dodson last year, the judge issued a stern warning to Bowdry: any further stunts on social media and more could land Bowdry in prison for violating her probation.

But that warning didn’t stop Bowdry.

She returned to TikTok with a sharper edge and a new video using her own lyrics to lash out at the judge, the Sun Herald for its coverage of the case, the district attorney and the “MFN b......” (or commenters) reacting to the story.

Now, Bowdry is back in custody at the Harrison County jail and waiting to return to court after skipping her Jan. 6 court date for an update in her status.

Harrison County sheriff’s deputies arrested Bowdry on charges for failure to appear in court and failure to notify authorities of her change of address — a requirement because she is a registered sex offender. She was previously convicted in a human trafficking case in Hattiesburg.

Mississippi Probation Officer Wendy King has since alerted the judge to Bowdry’s latest actions, that include posting the new TikTok video, this one dubbed “Mo Money Yavo Flo,” and more.

In that video, Bowdry appears dancing while her ankle monitor is tucked beneath a pair of bright yellow socks. She uses the platform to criticize the media, the prosecutor, and the judge.

“I’m wearing my ankle monitor and booty shorts,” Bowdry says in the clip, referring to herself as a “hood b—” and mocking the court proceedings.

She uses the platform to criticize the Sun Herald, the judge and prosecutor.

In one lyric, Bowdry casually mentions the court action, saying “By a show of hands, who would think I’m breaking free on a TikTok” video.

In addition to the TikTok clip, the probation officer told the judge that Bowdry used Facebook to address her human trafficking case., placing blaming on the child for selling herself for sex and saying, in part, “I ain’t never sold a b—.”

King said Bowdry appears to have some genuine talent, but continues to misuse it. “It’s a shame she continues to use her talents in a way that does not serve her,” King said.

In addition, Bowdry has not made any payments toward her fines and remains unemployed, the probation officer said.

Bowdry’s human trafficking arrest occurred during an undercover operation in Hattiesburg targeting those who traffick children for sex. She is currently on probation for failure to register as a sex offender.

Bowdry said she has been wearing the tracking device for several years.
