Kanye West, Evil Knievel settle their differences

Hip hop star Kanye West and legendary stuntman Evil Knievel have settled their differences.

The motorbike daredevil sued West and his record company for his use of Knievel's image in the rap video for 'Touch the Sky.'

Now they have sat down at Knievel's Florida home and thrashed out an agreement. "We settled the lawsuit amicably," Knievel said.

"I was very satisfied and so was he. I know he has had some tough times the past few weeks and I hope things work out. "I thought he was a wonderful guy and quite a gentleman."

West's lawyers had argued that the video was a satire and protected by First Amendment rights.

Knievel claimed that the video, in which the rapper dressed as 'Evel Kanyevel' tried to jump a motorbike over a canyon, damaged his reputation.
