Martha Stewart & Snoop Dogg’s Unbelievable Friendship—From Prison to High Society, How They Became Pop Culture’s Most Legendary Duo!

Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg’s unlikely friendship has lasted more than 15 years.

The famous duo first met back in 2008 when Snoop joined Stewart to make mashed potatoes on her cooking show, The Martha Stewart Show. The rapper returned the next year to make brownies, and the new friends joked about “the most important part” of that recipe.

Since their cooking and baking days on Stewart’s show, the pair have gone on to work together as roasters on Comedy Central’s 2015 Justin Bieber Roast, co-hosts of the 2021 and 2022 Puppy Bowls and costars in various Sketchers commercials. They’ve also teamed up to co-host a VH1 celebrity cooking show, Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, and judge a Halloween food competition, Snoop and Martha’s Very Tasty Halloween.

“When you work with someone like Snoop, it’s like having a sidekick. How great it is,” Stewart once told PEOPLE. “That’s why all the comedians have sidekicks and bands because it loosens them up and lets them be freer. Snoop is my freedom.”

In 2016, Snoop told The Hollywood Reporter that Stewart is his “homegirl” and that they “have a special bond that goes way back.”

From baking brownies and cookies together to their various co-hosting adventures, here’s everything to know about Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg’s friendship.

Stewart and Snoop’s friendship began with her mother’s mashed potato recipe. The rapper appeared on the author’s self-titled daytime cooking show, and the two enjoyed each other’s company while peeling potatoes and discussing his signature vocabulary words like “foshizzle.” Snoop joked on the show, “I don’t even understand it. I just have fun.”

“What an odd couple we were,” Stewart remarked years later during a 2019 NBC News interview about their first meeting. Snoop added that “cooking with Martha just seemed like the right space to be in.”

Snoop returned to the show the next year for a special Christmas episode. This time, the new friends made green-colored brownies — Snoop joked that he wanted to make green brownies because they’re “environmental.”

He continued with the low-key innuendos, not outright saying that he wanted to add marijuana to the brownies — the special ingredient he is infamous for — but seemingly implying it. After prompting from Stewart, in a freestyle rap, he added that they were “missing the most important part of the brownies,” making the audience chuckle more. Stewart quipped that they’d add “the stuff” later.

A few months after her and Snoop’s appearance on the Justin Bieber Roast, Stewart joined Seth Meyers on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where she shared that she felt the effects of being near Snoop during the event.

“I got high just sitting there,” she told the host. “Snoop had all those, you don’t call them joints, you call them something else. Big fat ones. We had to sit on the stage for four hours, and the secondary smoke is just as powerful as primary smoke. So I was totally high by the time I got to that microphone.”
