During a live stream the model, 24, told fans she was just "having fun" when she tricked people online into thinking she'd been snatched in Nigeria.
Rose had posted several tweets to X, purporting to be from her captor, which have since been deleted.
One read: "'I have kidnapped Vicky. She is with me in Nigeria. I am demanding $1million for her release."
Rose, who has some 3.7million followers on Instagram, was forced to admit her mistake on Sunday in a uncomfortable video shared to the site.
Barely able to make eye contact with the camera, she said: "Everything good ya'll... sorry about that.
"I was just bored and having fun. Just getting a laugh, just getting a laugh in, that's it.
"But it's all love though. I'm just having fun with my brother, everything good.
"Please forgive me," she added.

Rose, who gained notoriety online in 2017, is no stranger to controversy.
She was slammed for using an extremely offensive racist term at the time.
"We kind of got carried away with the joke, you know, we just like to have fun and joke," Rose added during the Instagram Live stream.
"I don't drink or go to the club, so this is how I find my entertainment," she admitted.
"You know, it's probably not the best way to do it. I'd probably be like reading the Bible or something like that."
In an attempt to defend her bizarre behaviour she added: "Sometimes, you want to have a little fun."
"The Bible said laughter is good for the soul. So I'd be wanting to laugh, and this is how I find that funny."
The American internet personality also reportedly got involved in a long-running feud with rapper and media star Bhad Bhabie in recent years.
On Tuesday, only a couple of days after admitting to the sick stunt, she posted another bizarre video to Instagram.
It appeared to show her getting married, as she stood in a long white dress in front of a man in a suit who puts a ring on her finger.
The caption reads: "NOW AND FOREVER MY OPUEH", next to emojis of hearts and a ring.
But her awkward stance, giggling and the general set up of the video left people doubting its authenticity.
One person wrote: "I can’t take anything she does serious."
Another said "He kissing her cheek and she’s barely touching him!"
