A day before Euphoria‘s third season premiere on HBO, Labrinth is continuing to speak out about his fallout with the Emmy-winning drama.
On Saturday, Labrinth took to his Instagram Story to share additional comments about the series, seemingly in response to creator Sam Levinson‘s recent interview with Rolling Stone, in which he called Labrinth an “incredible collaborator” and said, “I don’t know” why he left after working on the show’s first two seasons.
“People will comfortably lie in this industry and still call themselves honest people. So no cap, I decided to remove whatever music I had in it,” the musician wrote. “I spoke to HBO, as far as I know, we are cool. I left because, last truth, when I work for someone, their vision is paramount to me, but I don’t let people treat me like shit.”
Last month, Labrinth also expressed his frustration with his record label, Columbia, and the entertainment industry in a since-deleted Instagram post: “I’m done with this industry. Fuck Columbia [Records]. Double fuck Euphoria. I’m out. Thank you and good night x.”
Labrinth created much of the show’s score and soundtrack, including songs like “All for Us,” “Formula,” “Mount Everest” and “Never Felt So Alone,” the latter featuring vocals from Billie Eilish and earning a Grammy nomination. “All for Us,” a collaboration with series star Zendaya, won him an Emmy Award in 2020. Hans Zimmer scored season three.
Euphoria season three debuts Sunday on HBO. The premiere is also expected to screen on-site for Coachella attendees, where Labrinth is a confirmed performer at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, the late Eric Dane, Natasha Lyonne, Rosalía, Sharon Stone, Danielle Deadwyler, Eli Roth, Marshawn Lynch and Trisha Paytas round out the cast for the new season.
