Kanye West and motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel have settled a federal lawsuit over the use of Knievel's trademarked image in West's video "Touch the Sky."

Knievel sued West and his record company last year, claiming the "vulgar and offensive" images depicted in the video damaged his reputation, according to The Associated Press. Knievel accused West of using his image to "promote his filth to the world."

Meeting West reportedly changed Knievel's impression of the performer. "I thought he as a wonderful guy and quite a gentleman," he said.

The two agreed not to publicly discuss the terms of the settlement. However, Knievel said both he and West were satisfied with the settlement. The two men agreed to mediation in July.

West had argued that the video, in which the rapper takes on the persona of "Evel Kanyevel" and tries to jump a rocket-powered motorcycle over a canyon, was satire, which is not against the law.
