- Shytoshi Kusama and Shibariumโs developers fought over the weekend.
- Kusamaโs creation of a new Telegram for Shibarium sparked the altercation.
- A Twitter poll suggests Shytoshi Kusama should remain the main developer.
The huge Shiba Inu community on Discord had a fiery argument over the weekend. A faction of the SHIB Army fulminated against โThe hostile Shiba Inu takeoverโ by the lead developer Shytoshi Kusama, at whom official core team member ShibaKraken took shots on Twitter.
Attention #ShibArmy. It has come to my attention that @ShytoshiKusama has just attempted a hostile takeover of the SHIB community. Many core members have now been removed from the "new group". I'm not sure what comes next, but I will not be joining Shytoshis new group.

After distancing himself from Shiba Inuโs new Telegram channel, Shiba Kraken elaborated on his nuisance with Shytoshi โUltra Egoโ Kusama:

โHe's not even a developer. Let this be clear.. SHYTOSHI HAS NOTHING to do with Shibarium. That's Kaal, Eric and Xfund.โ
Shortly after, lead developer Shytoshi Kusama fired back at ShibaKraken. โI see they named that new Covid strain after you. Please stay away. I don’t want any issues in the Shibarium group. Thanks.โ
Divide and Conquer Method for SHIB?
The heated discussions on SHIB Tokenโs official Discord server and Subreddit were highlighted by a squabble between Shytoshi Kusama and another prominent SHIB developer, Trophias. A well-known member of the SHIB Army, Trophias has control over Shiba Inuโs Discord and plays a key role in Shibariumโs coding.
The fiery dispute saw its culmination when several members questioned the need for a new Telegram channel for SHIB. Later, Shytoshi Kusama insisted that he was not here โto discuss his strategyโ and reassured that the old channel wouldnโt be deleted.

Kusama Sends SHIB Queenie Packing
Beside Trophias and ShibaKraken, SHIB Queenie is another well-known figure of the SHIB Army kissed goodbye by Shytoshi โUltra Egoโ Kusama. The crypto influencer, with 47,700 followers on Twitter, posted a digital artwork piece of a girl looking out the window on a starry night right after she was shown the door by Kusama.
In response to this, some members of Crypto Twitter blasted Shytoshi Kusama for having a โmegalomaniac personality.โ They added that โhis severe paranoia definitely helped.โ
Finally, one of the TOP 100 most popular crypto influencers, Lucie Sasinkova, took to Twitter to ask the SHIB Army whether the mysterious Shytoshi Kusama should remain the head of Shiba Inuโs dev department.
Ultimately, a whopping 92% voted for Shytoshi Kusama to remain in the leading position, while just 8% were opposed. โIt must be the Discord gang,โ – Ms. Sasinkova remarked. Other members of Crypto Twitter continuously bashed SHIB Queenie and Trophias for โonly caring about money.โ
Wanted to make sure you saw this @LucieSHIB itโs not just tropias thatโs that the problem. Itโs the whole group including queenie. She has bashed shytoshi for last few days. Mostly because sheโs not getting paid anymore. Thatโs all these people really cared about. MONEY pic.twitter.com/gyAbliES2W

On the Flipside
- Many members of the Shiba Inu Subreddit claim that SHIB Tokenโs Discord moderators are โhostileโ as well as โarrogant.โ One prominent member of the SHIB Army even went as far as to say, โShibaKraken needs to shut the hell up and quit being a drama queen.โ
