‘She’s Ready to Ride for Ma Dukes!’: Joie Chavis Pranks Daughter and Her Reaction Has Fans Cracking Up

There is a new Tiktok trend where parents tell their child an adult and their kid are trying to fight them and the child has to step in. The prank is used on kids to see their reaction and if they have their parents back. 

Shai Moss aced the fight prank and was ready to be on go for her mother.  Joie Chavis uploaded the video onto Instagram where audiences can hear her explain to Shai, “I need you to put your shoes on and come with me outside, the neighbor is tripping on me again and her daughter keeps coming around talking about ‘What’s going on?’”

Shai woke up, rubbed her eyes, and responded, “Can’t she stay in a child’s place? She ain’t gonna do nothing.” The 11-year-old didn’t even hesitate when her mom told her to “come on” and, “put your shoes on.” She jumped out of bed, did what she was told, and put her shoes on. 

Joie laughed at the video and wrote, “Shai is literally me” as her caption. Shai’s reaction had many fans joke about her having Joie’s back. 

“Shai has her mommy’s back! So cute”

“She’s over it but she’s ready to ride for ma dukes!”

“The way she slipped on them slides so calm I know she’s about to step”

“Shai’s probably thinking ‘I don’t understand this but I’m down”

“That’s what I’m talking about, my daughter don’t play about mommy either!” 

Fans indicated that Joie and her neighbors allegedly have real beef with one another due to Joie always parking in her neighbors parking spot; fans thought that added more humor to the video with Shai.

“Y’all really have beef with the neighbors too”

“Shai definitely thinking, ‘yeah let’s put this to rest’”

“Lmfao it’s the real neighborhood drama for me”

“Shai is tired of this neighborhood car beef” 

The prank video received over 67,000 likes on Instagram and over 19,000 likes on TikTok.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
