The Nigerian entertainment industry has been thrown into mourning following the death of the father of former Big Brother Naija housemate and dancer, Roseline Afije, popularly known as Liquorose.
DDM gathered that the BBNaija Season 6 runner-up announced the painful loss through a brief but emotional post on her official Instagram page, confirming that her father had passed away.
Liquorose did not disclose the cause of death or provide further personal details, choosing instead to share a solemn message that reflected deep grief and respect for family privacy.
Within minutes of the announcement, her post attracted thousands of reactions from fans, colleagues, and celebrities across Nigeria’s entertainment space.
Fellow Big Brother Naija alumni, dancers, musicians, and media personalities flooded her comment section with condolence messages and words of encouragement.
Many described Liquorose as a resilient figure who has consistently carried herself with strength, professionalism, and grace since rising to national prominence.
Liquorose rose to fame during the 2021 Big Brother Naija “Shine Ya Eye” season, where her talent, discipline, and calm personality earned her massive public support.
Before BBNaija, she had already built a strong reputation as a professional dancer and member of the popular dance group, GGB Dance Crew.
Her transition from dance floors to reality television transformed her into a household name and one of the most successful female alumni of the franchise.
Since leaving the show, Liquorose has secured endorsement deals, acted in films, featured in music videos, and expanded her influence across fashion and lifestyle platforms.
The death of her father, however, has shifted public attention from her achievements to the emotional burden celebrities often carry behind the scenes.
Observers say the incident highlights the constant tension between public visibility and private grief faced by entertainers.
While fans express genuine sympathy, some critics argue that social media turns mourning into a public spectacle, placing emotional pressure on grieving celebrities.
Supporters counter that public messages of love and solidarity can offer comfort during difficult times, especially for figures whose lives already exist in the public domain.
Cultural analysts note that in Nigerian society, parental loss carries deep emotional and symbolic weight, regardless of fame or wealth.
They explain that celebrity status does not shield individuals from the pain of losing a parent or navigating traditional family expectations around mourning.
Entertainment insiders say Liquorose has temporarily reduced public engagements following the announcement.
No official statement has been released regarding funeral arrangements or memorial plans.
Fans continue to send prayers and messages of strength, urging the star to take time away from public life to heal.
The development has once again sparked conversations about mental health, grief management, and respect for boundaries in the age of social media.
For many admirers, Liquorose’s loss serves as a reminder that behind fame, endorsements, and glamour lie real human experiences.
As tributes continue to pour in, the focus remains on offering compassion, dignity, and space to a grieving daughter during a deeply personal moment.
