Labrinth has claimed that he isn't part of the third season of Euphoria because he "won't let people treat (him) like s***".

The 37-year-old artist composed the score for the first two seasons of the HBO teen drama but has been replaced by Hans Zimmer for the much-anticipated third season - which premieres on Sunday (12.04.26) - and has expressed anger about the manner of his departure in a cryptic social media post.

Labrinth wrote in an Instagram Story: "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."

The Beneath Your Beautiful artist added: "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***."

Labrinth had distanced himself from Euphoria - which stars Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi - and his label Columbia Records on social media last month in a post that seemed to indicate he was quitting the music industry.

The British rapper penned: "I'm done with this industry. F*** Colombia. Double f*** Euphoria. I'm out. Thank you and good night x."

Euphoria creator Sam Levinson revealed that he opted to replace Labrinth with Zimmer for season three as the show's five-year time jump means the "pop roots of it have faded away".

He said of Labrinth to Rolling Stone: "He's an incredible collaborator and someone who really built the foundation of the sound of Euphoria.

"In general, I was less interested in needle drops and more interested in something that guides us through this world."

Meanwhile, Zendaya revealed last week that the third season of Euphoria is likely to bring the show to a conclusion.

Quizzed on The Drew Barrymore Show if season three spells the end, the 29-year-old actress told The Drew Barrymore Show: "I think so, yeah."

When Barrymore asked the question again, The Drama actress replied: "Yes, I think so."

Zendaya, who portrays troubled Rue Bennett in the series, added: "Rue taught me so much about life... that crew has also seen me grow up. I owe so much to that show. Rue taught me so much about empathy and about redemption. She taught me a lot, and I'm very grateful for all of it."
