Not only that, but after his departure, Hans Zimmer took over the music for the third season as well. In a recent post, Labrinth finally broke his silence and revealed why it all came down to this and how people will lie in this industry all the time.
Why did Labrinth leave ‘Euphoria’
Taking to his social media account, the famed ‘Kill for Your Love’ singer revealed what was one of the reasons why he quit Zendaya’s show in the first place. The singer revealed, “I spoke to HBO, as far as I know, we are cool. I left because, last truth, when I work for someone, their vision is paramount to me, but I don’t let people treat me like s***.”In another part of his post, Labrinth also seemingly replied to Sam Levinson (creator of ‘Euphoria’) about a recent statement he made to Rolling Stone. During the interview, Levinson had briefly touched upon the topic of Labrinth’s departure and had commented that he didn’t know.In a seemingly direct reply, Labrinth wrote, “People will comfortably lie in this industry and still call themselves honest people. So no cap, I decided to remove whatever music I had in it.”
