Legendary daredevil motorcycle stuntman Robert Craig “Evel” Knievel has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Kanye West, claiming the Chicago rapper tarnished his image in the video for the hit single “Touch The Sky.”

The lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court, accuses Kanye West of trademark infringement and unauthorized use of the Evel Knievel image by using vulgar, sexual and racially questionable content.

Roc-A-Fella Records and “Touch the Sky” video director Chris Milk are also named as defendants in the lawsuit.

Knievel, 68, claims the video disgraced him and accuses Kanye West of ripping his image apart. This guy used to almost rip his self apart often with silly stunts but now he has arthritis and wants to cash in off of one of us again.

The video, which stars actress Pamela Anderson Lee, features Kanye West as a fictional stuntman named “Evel Kanyevel” attempting to jump a canyon. Evel Knievel’s lawyer Richard Fee claims the video is a recreation of Knievel’s failed attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon in Western Wyoming in 1974.

Get a life B. I should sue alot of MF’s on behalf of my ancestors and great great great’s. Middlefinger U.
