Labrinth is not happy. The composer behind Euphoria‘s memorable soundtrack called out the HBO show in a scathing and cryptic social media post.

In a series of short statements, the British musician and producer expressed his frustration with the industry, his record label, Columbia Records, and Euphoria. “I’m done with this industry. Fuck Columbia. Double fuck Euphoria. I’m out. Thank you and goodnight,” Labrinth wrote.

The motivation behind the post remains unclear.

The post comes just a month before the highly anticipated third season of Euphoria premieres on April 12. For the first two seasons, Labrinth has played a pivotal role in the show’s music, soundtracking some of the most emotional moments and creating a sonic identity for the series.

Representatives for Labrinth, HBO, and Columbia Records did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment.

Last year, it was announced that Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer would join Labrinth to work on Euphoria Season Three. “Labrinth’s music has shaped the show’s identity and I’m looking forward to contributing to the ongoing story and helping shape this new season through music,” Zimmer said at the time.

In a separate statement, Labrinth also shared his excitement to work with the esteemed film composer. “Another chapter in the Euphoria universe! So great to join Hans, one of my heroes in film score, and bring some new magic to this new season,” he said.Euphoria’s Season Three has not gone on without a hitch. Season Two of the show wrapped all the way back in 2022. Since then, various factors, including changes in the cast and several guild strikes, have delayed Season Three of the show.

‘America’s Next Top Model’ Warped Her Story. Dani Evans Is Having the Last Word

Dani Evans has learned to trust her gut instinct. It’s a habit she’s developed since the events that took place 20 years ago on America’s Next Top Model and after she walked away with the grand prize, only to learn that it had come with a hefty price. “If something within me is a ‘no,’ then I can’t give my attention to it, no matter what it is,” she tells Rolling Stone. “That’s how I’ve built my personal ethos.”

In 2005, Evans saw winning the hit reality TV show as a one-way ticket out of Little Rock, Arkansas. At the time, ANTM was an entertainment juggernaut. Evans says she knew the series — which had young models living under one roof and competing in high-stakes photo shoots to win a modeling contract — was made to humiliate the girls on-screen, but her brother convinced her it was an opportunity to fulfill her dreams as a model in New York.

Luigi Mangione’s Fans Speak of Politics and Sex in New Short Doc From Rolling Stone Films

As Liza Mandelup was casting her new short documentary about the fans of Luigi Mangione, images of the 27-year-old accused of killing UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson began to infiltrate her algorithms. Then her subconscious.

“I had dream about him!” exclaims the director of Luigi, a new project from Rolling Stone Films that’s now available to watch online. The dream helped Mandelup start to understand the exact phenomenon she wanted to explore in her film: How exactly does someone develop a deep connection with a person they don’t even know — let alone one accused of murder. (Mangione has pleaded not guilty.)

Harvey Weinstein’s Rape Charge Retrial Scheduled for April

Harvey Weinstein’s Rape Charge Retrial Scheduled for April

After a jury in a previous retrial failed to reach a verdict on a rape charge, Harvey Weinstein will begin another retrial on April 14, per The Hollywood Reporter. The Class E felony charge, which carries a maximum sentence of four years in New York, is related to accusations from the actress Jessica Mann.

In June 2025, a New York jury found Weinstein guilty on one count of a criminal sexual act during his retrial. He was also found not guilty on another count of a criminal sexual act. The rape charge resulted in a mistrial. In the initial 2020 case, Weinstein was convicted for one count of a felony sex crime and another for third-degree rape. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison. In 2024, an appeals court overturned the conviction.

Oscars 2026: Who Will Win, Who Should Win

So what’s it going to be: the father trying save his daughter’s life, or the twin brothers trying save each other’s souls? The revolutionary mother on the run, or the spiritual healer who stays and fights? The martial arts sensei, or the harmonica-playing mentor? Those who battle Neo-nazis, or those taking on literal bloodsuckers?

Often, the Oscars tend to head into their final stretch with a clear frontrunner a few steps, or sometimes several laps in front of the pack. The ceremony is practically finished before it’s even started, and it’s essentially all over except for the foregone “And the winner is…” announcement. Other years, it’s anyone’s guess as to which film might leave with the biggest of the little-gold-men awards, with a title or three going through a variety of rises and falls leading up to the big night. (See: 2025.) And occasionally, you get an Oscars race where two specific movies feel like they’re virtually neck in neck. That’s what we’re looking at right now.
