Dance musician Moby sparks furore after claiming he once rubbed his penis on Donald Trump

Dance music star Moby has raised eyebrows after claiming he once intentionally rubbed his penis against the now President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.

The 53-year-old Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? singer (whose real name is Richard Hall) made the surprising confession in a chat with the Sunday Times magazine.

Moby said he had a chance encounter with Trump back in 2001 - years before the 72-year-old businessman and TV presenter was voted into power.

Explaining that he was in a room with the star while at a party on Park Avenue in New York City, Moby made the shock declaration that he was dared to whip out his penis and rub it on The Donald.

“The party wasn't that exciting. It was mainly full of businessmen and real-estate developers, most notably Donald Trump, who was standing a few yards away, talking loudly to some other guests,” he described.

"'Moby, go knob-touch Donald Trump' said one of my friends,” he continued - referencing a juvenile prank in which a gentleman would intentionally expose his own penis and brush it against someone else.

"I drank a shot of vodka to brace myself, pulled my flaccid penis out of my trousers and casually walked past Trump, trying to brush the edge of his jacket with my penis," the Porcelain singer claims.

The confession has prompted a mixed response from Trump fans and critics - with some suggesting Moby could be guilty of some kind of sexual assault.

“How did Moby not end up on a register? He probably still could now after that admission,” comedian and former Mrs Brown’s Boys star Rory Cowan commented on Twitter.

While another slammed the singer's confession, tweeting: “If thats the case he has admitted sexually assaulting someone. I wonder if the same people that slate Trump for the things he says will lead the outcry on this which is a million times worse. I’ll wait.”
