Motorcycle adventurer Evil Knievel is suing Kanye West saying the controversial rapper violated his image in the making of the “Touch the Sky” music video.

“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 said Tuesday.

Knievel sent his lawyers to the U.S. District Court in Tampa, Florida, to file charges against West, Roc-A-Fella Records, video director Chris Milk and AOL for distributing the video.

West and his lawyers haven’t released any statements.

Knievel, whose name is Robert Craig Knievel says the video tarnishes his reputation.

“The guy just went too far using me to promote his filth to the world,” he says, “I’m not in any way that kind of a person.”
