Labrinth Says ‘Double F-ck ‘Euphoria,” Claims He’s ‘Done with the Industry’ in Scathing Instagram Post

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.

Rebel Wilson Accused of Using ‘The Deb’ Actress as ‘Leverage’ During Defamation-Suit Hearing

Rebel Wilson appeared at the Federal Court of Australia in Sydney on Monday to begin hearing procedures for the defamation lawsuit filed against her by actress Charlotte MacInnes. MacInnes plays a lead role in The Deb, the debut directorial film from Wilson, the release of which has been significantly delayed due to legal battles. Legal representatives for the actress referred to Wilson as a “bully” in court, accusing her of using MacInnes as “leverage” in a separate dispute with producers of the film.

The lawsuit primarily pertains to a series of Instagram posts published by Wilson. MacInnes claims the actress-director shared posts that suggested she was sexually harassed by Amanda Ghost — a producer on The Deb whom Wilson previously sued for breach of contract and fraud — and in turn damaged her reputation.

‘The Christophers’ Lets Two Great British Actors Cook

Two quick questions: What makes great art great? And: When does Steven Soderbergh sleep?

That first query is the quietly thrumming engine behind The Christophers, a dual character study that, at any given moment, threatens to swerve down the side streets of an art-world thriller, an odd-couple buddy comedy, and an off-the-cuff theater piece. In this corner, we have an incorrigible, politically incorrect painter of the old guard — a bad-boy archetype who thrived in the Swinging Sixties and isn’t above dropping famous names for effect. (He used to hang with Ringo, “but not the Ringo you’re thinking of.”) In the other corner, a young artist whose ambition was smothered and has entered his orbit under false pretenses. The raging immovable object will butt up against the cool, collected irresistible force. The fight is over quaint philosophical concepts such as legacy, standards, inspiration, talent, and whether any of those things actually play into channeling the divine onto a blank canvas.

‘Ketamine Queen’ Sentenced to 15 Years in Connection to Matthew Perry Death

The Los Angeles drug dealer prosecutors dubbed the “Ketamine Queen” was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Wednesday for supplying the powerful dissociative anesthetic that killed actor Matthew Perry in his backyard jacuzzi two and a half years ago.

Jasveen Sangha had asked for a lenient sentence of time served, citing her lack of a prior criminal record and the 20 months she’s been locked up since her August 2024 arrest. Prosecutors urged the court to give her the 15 years behind bars, one year more than federal probation officials recommended.
