AceShowbiz - Labrinth, the British musician known for composing the score for the HBO series Euphoria, posted a cryptic and strongly worded message on Instagram late last night signaling his departure from the music industry.
In the post, Labrinth bluntly stated, "I'm done with this industry," followed by explicit language directed at his record label, Columbia Records, and the HBO show itself. The message included the phrases, "Fuck Columbia," and "Double Fuck Euphoria. I'm out. Thank you and good night." The post was shared without any additional caption or explanation.
As of now, representatives for Labrinth and HBO have been contacted for clarification regarding the intentions and implications of the post, but no official response has been provided.
Labrinth has been the composer for Euphoria since its first season, earning acclaim including an Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the song "All for Us." His involvement with the show has been a key factor in its distinctive and impactful soundtrack.
Earlier this week, Labrinth attended the Balenciaga 2026 Winter show in Paris, where Euphoria creator Sam Levinson previewed footage from the highly anticipated third season. HBO announced that Labrinth was returning to collaborate on the score for season three alongside renowned composer Hans Zimmer.
