Reality TV personality and actress Roseline Afije, popularly known as Liquorose, has disclosed the reason behind her unique stage name, admitting it was inspired by her love for spirits and her true name.
Liquorose stated that she selected the moniker in December 2012 and that it has now become a household name in an interview with VJ Adams.
“I picked Liquorose on December 31st, 2012. I like liquor, and my name is Rosaline as well. I am a very shy person too. My mum says in her language ‘Alcohol is never shy’”, she said.
She added that she values her family life and misses home, despite her busy schedule.
“I don’t go home often; it’s bad. I miss my home, I miss my bed. We are very close in my family, and we know how to make each other laugh. We have stories we tell each other. I miss that. The last time I was in the hood was last year because I do this charity stuff every December. That was the last time, and it’s bad”, she said.
The actress also shared her future plans, including her desire for a large family.
“I want nine kids,” she added.

In November, Liquorose disclosed that her first attempts were cut short before she appeared on the reality show in 2021.
She revealed that in 2020, she was on the verge of taking part in the event and was waiting backstage to be introduced during the launch, but she was still passed over by the organisers.
According to Liquorose, the experience left her feeling despondent and nearly gave up on her goal of appearing on the show.
“In 2020, I was backstage at the BBNaija opening show. I was dressed up and make up done, but I was not called. That really hurt me,” she said in a recent podcast interview with VJ Adams.
Liquorose and another potential housemate, Jaypaul were barred from posting in the 2020 edition of the reality show after testing positive to COVID-19.
However, the duo made it to the show after auditioning the following year.
Liquorose revealed that she almost refused to audition the next year, but was convinced by a friend to audition again.
“That experience was messing with me. So, the following year, I didn’t even want to audition but my friend convinced me to try. I just auditioned and forgot about it. I just went to check my spam one day and I discovered that I have been selected. It was crazy,” she recalled.
Liquorose emerged as the runner-up of Big Brother Naija Season 5 in 2021 after losing the grand prize to Whitemoney.
