Evel Knievel Kanye West Lawsuit Settlement
Kanye West has settled a copyright dispute with motorbike legend Evel Knievel after a private meeting at the stuntman’s Florida home. The veteran stintman sued the rapper and his record label last December, claiming the video for the 2006 single Touch The Sky had tarnished Knievel’s image, due to its “vulgar, sexual nature.” In the vid, Kanye is spotted kissing Pamela Anderson before attempting to jump a rocket-powered motorcycle across a canyon, which seemed to parody Knievel’s attempt to clear the Snake River Canyon in Idaho in 1974.
“I thought he was a wonderful guy and quite a gentleman,” Evel said.
“We settled the lawsuit amicably. I was very satisfied and so was he.”
“The terms of the settlement will not be discussed in public,” he added.
“I know he’s had some tough times the past few weeks, and I hope things work out,” Knievel commented.
