(9/3/02, 6 p.m. ET) -- Moby has addressed being dissed by Eminem at last week's Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall (August 29) in his online journal..

"The truth is I honestly, in all sincerity, thought that the whole Eminem thing was done in some semblance of humor until Eminem called me a p--sy (that was off camera) and then threatened to beat me up," wrote Moby in his online journal. "Ah well."

Moby added, "I think that Eminem is talented and interesting, but I'm kind of stunned at the anger that he has for me, seeing as I'd never met him up until that night."

He capped off his entry, "...and I love 'Triumph The Insult Comic Dog,' and I was more concerned for Triumph's well-being. If Eminem wants to pick on someone, fine, pick on me, but don't dis the dog-puppet. Triumph the dog-puppet is my hero."
