Social media sleuths are speculating that Cassie Ventura’s scathing 2017 song, Love a Loser (featuring G-Eazy), may be about her ex-boyfriend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
A week after shocking surveillance footage from 2016 emerged of the disgraced rap mogul attacking her in a hotel hallway, fans of the singer, 37, began to speculate that the diss track was inspired by her former partner, who she dated off and on from 2007 to 2018.
In the chorus, she declares: ‘I would rather lose a lover than to love a loser/ Rather lose a lover than to love a loser.’
Later in the single, she admits to feeling under her partner’s ‘spell’ before asking: ‘Tell me is it me or the drugs, ’cause baby I can’t tell (I can’t tell).’
Six years after the release of her music video for Love a Loser, the comment section of her YouTube has been flooded with supportive messages as well as theories that Ventura was singing about Diddy.

‘Omg I’ve always loved this song but it all adds up now. She sang about her experience and trauma. This so heart breaking. Such a beautiful song,’ one listener wrote.
Another commented: ‘After that elevator video, this song makes sense.’
‘Who else is here because the Diddy video?’ a third asked. ‘My heart breaks for cassie and all she went through.’
A fourth wrote: ‘This song makes sooo much sense now!’
‘That is so sad! I’m so sorry to hear you went through that Cassie!’ wrote another viewer.
Others remarked at how she ‘showed no signs of the type of abuse she endured.’
While Ventura never explicitly revealed who the song is about, Diddy did serve as an executive producer on a short film inspired by her song Love A Loser, indicating that he was not offended by it.
While speaking about the 10-minute companion short film, Ventura talked about portraying a relationship with a man that lives freely and struggles with drugs and alcohol.
In the scripted film, she describes her fictional partner, played by Cristoforo Donadi, as ‘an aggravating high.’

‘He just makes me feel at ease. When I’m with him, I feel like I’m escaping. I feel like I get to disappear and I don’t have to deal with all the regular bulls**t,’ she continues.
In the final minutes, the couple act out a toxic relationship, which shows them yelling at each other, and her telling him to get the ‘f**k’ out of her face.
The video ends with her driving off alone into the desert.
Ventura is, now, married to celebrity trainer Alex Fine.
Diddy is currently under federal investigation and facing serious allegations of sexual assault and abuse.
After the horrifying video resurfaced, Diddy posted a front-facing camera video apologizing for his behavior.

‘I mean I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I’m disgusted,’ Diddy insisted in the post, shared to his Instagram.
He noted he was ‘disgusted’ with himself, then, and now, before revealing he ‘sought out professional help,’ started going to therapy and went to rehab to work on his issues.
‘Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I am committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness, I’m truly sorry,’ he concluded.
Sources said Diddy went to rehab following the 2016 incident and continues to seek both therapy and spiritual work.

The video, obtained by CNN, shows the rapper shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist, chasing Cassie down the hall at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City.
As she tried to get into an elevator, he grabbed her by the back of the head and slammed her to the ground.
He then kicked her as she lay on the floor motionless, before grabbing the two designer bags she’d tried to escape with.
Diddy stood over her, kicked her again, and then dragged her back to their room by the hoodie.
Cassie claimed in a since-settled lawsuit that Diddy had paid the same hotel $50,000 for the footage after the attack.

Speaking on Sunday, Cassie’s attorney Meredith Firetog, said: ‘Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt.
‘When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday.
‘That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.’
The apology comes after the LA County District Attorney said they would not be able to prosecute Diddy for the assault as the statute of limitations had passed.
California’s statute of limitations for simple assault is one year, though aggravated assault is three years. Based on the timeline, neither charge could be levied against Diddy.
