Evel Knievel and Kanye West Hug It Out
It’s a Christmas miracle! Looks like Evel and Kanye have settled their differences…
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Evel Knievel and Kanye West have worked it out.
The 69-year-old iconic motorcycle daredevil said he and West met at his Clearwater condo recently. They settled a federal lawsuit over the use of Knievel’s trademarked image in a popular West music video.
Knievel sued West and his record company last year. He took issue with a 2006 music video for the song “Touch the Sky,” in which the rapper takes on the persona of “Evel Kanyevel” and tries to jump a rocket-powered motorcycle over a canyon.
Generally speaking, I think Kanye West is a douchebag. But “Evel Kanyevel”? Gotta admit — that’s a good one.
