The enigmatic lead of the Shiba Inu developer team known to the SHIB army under the pseudonym Shytoshi Kusama has once again sent ripples through the meme coin community by changing his status on the X profile.
SHIB team marketing lead Lucie has drawn the public’s attention to it on the X social media platform. The new status hints that Shytoshi is busy recording a new podcast at the moment and also says he is “quite angry.”
Shytoshi Kusama: “In the studio and quite angry”
Lucie shared a screenshot of Kusama’s X profile with the geolocation status saying ““In the studio and quite angry.” The marketing lead commented on that, saying that probably Shytoshi “is being attacked” and “dragged into a drama.”
In the studio & quite angry?! @ShytoshiKusama
Imagine being attacked and dragged into drama I’ve never even heard of. 🙀
Just try to stay focused and get this podcast + Medium piece out. For SHY TOO😏 pic.twitter.com/mCeokQZV2R

“Imagine being attacked and dragged into drama I’ve never even heard of,” Lucie wrote and she suggested that to support Kusama the SHIB army should listen to a new podcast and read a Medium article that Shytoshi is apparently about to release. Recently, he began a series of podcasts titled “Shy Speaks Shib” where he as a host speaks to leaders of various blockchain projects that are being launched on Shibarium.
The new podcast episode release being prepared can explain the “studio” part but the “quite angry” part will probably be revealed in the podcast’s new episode.
Shytoshi has been rather quiet on social media over the past months. Twice he has taken large pauses this year, each lasting for roughly one month. Last week, Shytoshi returned after one of them and in his Telegram channel he posted a call to action to the SHIB team, saying: “Next week lets get back to it can we?”
Lucie’s fundamental statement about SHIB ecosystem
In another tweet published today, Lucie issued an important statement, underscoring the complexity of the ecosystem built around the SHIB meme coin, including the layer-2 solution Shibarium.
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE https://t.co/4RzThbql2L and the SHIB ECOSYSTEM are not just about tweets, Twitter account or influencer hype.

Lucie said that the SHIB ecosystem and SHIB are not limited just to “tweets, Twitter account or influencer hype.” She reminded the audience that behind SHIB stands a “real blockchain (Shibarium), and “a suite of decentralized tools, and hundreds of hours of development by core contributors like Shytoshi Kusama and Kaal Dhairya.”
She said the ecosystem is also “backed by millions of dollars from investors” who support a decentralized future.
