Evel Knievel Sues Kanye West

by admin ·

Dare devil legend Evel Knievel has sued Kanye West over the latter’s “Touch the Sky” video in which West portrays the character “Evel Kanyevel” and tries jumping over a canyon with a rocket-powered motorbike.

The federal lawsuit, filed in Tampa yesterday, claims infringement on Knievel’s trademark name and likeness, and damages his reputation with “vulgar and offensive” images.

“That video that Kanye West put out is the most worthless piece of crap I’ve ever seen in my life,” Knievel said, “and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public.”

This is the same video West referred to at the MTV Europe Awards where he cursed and ranted about not winning the best video award.

“I was jumping across canyons,” he complained. “If I don’t win, the awards show loses credibility.”
