- Martha Stewart became the oldest woman to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue.
- Her best friend Snoop Dogg told Insider she was "thirst trapping" during the photo shoot.
Martha Stewart made history when she became the oldest woman to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue earlier this year, and Snoop Dogg had high praise for his best friend's photo shoot.
Insider recently sat down with Snoop Dogg to discuss his new collaboration with Grubhub, as well as his famous BFF. And the rapper was definitely impressed with Stewart's cover-girl moment.
"She was thirst trapping!" Snoop Dogg said with a laugh. "I said, 'Martha, you playing games right now — you thirst trappin'. You go girl."
"I mean, I couldn't believe it," he added. "I had to call her and say, 'Martha, what's gotten into you? Or who's gotten into you?'"
Stewart's first thirst trap — a pool selfie that she said was a total accident — went viral in July 2020. She's since shared a number of sultry shots, and was excited to show off her skills on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
"I thought, 'I can do this. I don't have to give in to convention,'" she told The New York Times in May.
Stewart, who turned 82 in August, got her first-ever spray tan and went to Pilates three times a week to prepare for the shoot.
"I had two months, basically, to make sure I felt good enough about the way I look," she told The Times.
"I had to make sure I was ready to pose in a bathing suit. It took a bit of vanity but also a bit of confidence," she added. "I thought, 'If I'm feeling good enough physically and mentally to do such a thing, I'm up for it.'"
Stewart may now be the thirst-trap queen, but Snoop Dogg told Insider that he tries to scroll past any image of Stewart "on the Instagram page looking like that."
"That's a lane we both stay out of," he said with a laugh.
Snoop also revealed that he has no plans to play matchmaker to Stewart anytime soon.
"She's picky," he told Insider. "I wouldn't dream of trying to set her up unless I met a fucking trillionaire. I don't want that on my record that I brought somebody that she can't stand. No way."
When Snoop Dogg isn't whipping up something in the kitchen — or enjoying one of Stewart's dishes — he's working with Grubhub. His song "Did Somebody Say" will feature in a new commercial for the food ordering and delivery platform, as well as the #DidSomebodySayGrubhub sweepstakes taking place on Grubhub's social media pages.
