At the 37th annual FN Achievement Awards in New York, Skechers president and co-founder Michael Greenberg was bestowed with the prestigious Person of the Year award by none other than Martha Stewart. A surprise appearance by Stewart’s longtime friend, Snoop Dogg, added an unexpected twist to the evening.
During Stewart’s speech, she lauded Michael Greenberg, highlighting his continual impact in the industry and his ability to set new standards with each collection, including her Skechers line, which boasts global visibility. However, the rapper Snoop Dogg couldn’t resist interrupting, humorously asking about his own collection.
Stewart and Snoop Dogg share collaborations in the shoe brand realm, with the dynamic duo even starring in Skechers’ 2023 Super Bowl commercial, which has garnered considerable success. Their onstage banter included Dogg proposing the idea of a Super Bowl commercial for their collaborative venture.
As Michael Greenberg received his well-deserved award, he lightened the atmosphere with a playful jab at Snoop Dogg’s recent social media announcement about quitting smoking. Greenberg humorously expressed concern about a potential emotional breakdown following the rapper’s decision.
However, Dogg, with his trademark wit, assured everyone that he was still indulging in the habit. The lighthearted exchange added a touch of humor to the event, showcasing the camaraderie between the award recipient and the surprise guest.
