TAMPA, Fla. - Evel Knievel has sued Kanye West, taking issue with a video in which the rapper takes on the persona of "Evel Kanyevel" and jumps a motorcycle over a canyon.
"That video that Kanye West put out is the most worthless piece of crap I‘ve ever seen in my life, and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public," the 68-year-old daredevil said Tuesday.
In the video for the song "Touch the Sky," West dons the familiar Knievel star-studded jumpsuit and jumps a canyon in a vehicle "visually indistinguishable" from the Skycycle that Knievel used when he attempted to jump Idaho‘s Snake River Canyon in 1974, the lawsuit said.
