AceShowbiz - Labrinth, the acclaimed composer behind the soundtrack of HBO's Euphoria, has once again voiced strong disapproval of the music industry’s practices. His latest remarks follow a recent, now-deleted social media post targeting both his record label, Columbia Records, and the television series itself.

In a new Instagram message posted on Tuesday, Labrinth described an industry that, in his view, diminishes the integrity of its art and the artists for the sake of commercial gain. He metaphorically compared the environment to "snakes waiting to eat their owners," expressing frustration at how creatives enter the field with pure intentions but are transformed into ruthless competitors driven by profit. His post stated, "We walk into this industry as pure creatives that wish to share color and get turned into wolves of wall street dribbling over stocks and shares."

He further lamented the transactional nature of relationships within the industry, noting how meaningful connections are often abandoned when bigger opportunities arise. Labrinth questioned the normalization of reducing what he calls "Gods noise (our music)" into mere business deals and made clear that he does not accept this approach. The post’s caption emphasized his desire for genuine interaction, stating, "I want to have meaningful interactions... I don't want to use anyone I don't want to be used. I hope people stop acting like this is just how it's done. It doesn't have to be done that way. Fake ain't a good business plan."

This is not the first time Labrinth has expressed dissatisfaction publicly. Just last week, he posted a series of brief but pointed messages declaring, "I'm done with this industry. Fuck Columbia. Double fuck Euphoria. I'm out. Thank you and goodnight." These statements came less than a month before the anticipated release of the third season of Euphoria, scheduled to premiere on April 12.

Labrinth has played a crucial role in shaping the musical identity of Euphoria since its inception. His work on the show’s soundtrack has become synonymous with the series’ storytelling style, helping to define its atmosphere and emotional tone across the first two seasons.

In an exciting development announced last year, Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer is set to collaborate with Labrinth for the third season’s score. At that time, Labrinth expressed enthusiasm for working alongside one of his cinematic heroes, calling it "another chapter in the Euphoria universe" and looking forward to "bringing some new magic to this new season."

Despite the high-profile collaboration and the upcoming season, the reasons behind Labrinth's recent outspoken criticism remain unclear. Efforts to obtain a comment from his representatives were not immediately successful, leaving fans and industry watchers to speculate on the motivations behind his candid posts.
