There is a labyrinth of drama.

Sam Levinson is embroiled in pop-star drama, and it somehow has nothing to do with The Idol. Labrinth, the British singer who sang the No. 1 U.K. hit “Beneath Your Beautiful,” shared a dramatic Instagram post regarding the popular HBO series Euphoria. “I’m done with this industry. Fuck Columbia,” he wrote, referring to his record label, Columbia Records, where he’s been signed since 2019. “Double fuck Euphoria,” he added. “I’m out. Thank you and good night.”
Labrinth scored the first two seasons of the series, and his current issue with the show is unknown. Vulture reached out for comment but did not hear back. His song “All for Us,” featuring Euphoria star Zendaya, was featured in the season-one finale of the series and won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics in 2020. Last year, HBO revealed that Labrinth would return for Euphoria season three alongside new hire Hans Zimmer. “Another chapter in the Euphoria universe!” Labrinth said in a statement at the time. “So great to join Hans, one of my heroes in film score, and bring some new magic to this new season. Love x.”
The pop star has also continued to associate with Euphoria creator Levinson. Last week, on March 7, he attended Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Balenciaga show, which was a collaboration with Levinson that Labrinth soundtracked alongside Rosalía. Clearly, something has been going on behind the scenes.
In the comments of the post, Labrinth’s fellow musicians expressed their support. “Take care of your peace my love,” Kesha wrote. “You are loved and supported.” Skylar Grey urged, “Please don’t stop making music the world needs you.” Next up, the Euphoria drama will hopefully be contained to the screen when the show returns April 12.
