In December 2006, Knievel sued rapper Kanye West for trademark infringement in West’s video for Touch the Sky.

The case was later amicably settled on November 28, 2007 for an undisclosed sum of money.

He just sued and settled with a rapper, I think it was Usher, over him using his name in a song. Interesting guy, life wouldn’t be as fun if there wasn’t a few people like him around.

Roger Smith, Sean Taylor, and now Evel Knievel.

You say coincidence... I say conspiracy!

Ah, Evel, at least it isn’t Rest In Pieces. Thanks for the entertainment and prayers for your loved ones.

Motive is there, but need a good conspiracy theorist to tie the details together.
