Otsepa Collins (born 3rd February 2000) professionally know with his stage name Inkreece is a Nigerian singer, rapper and songwriter. He is currently signed to the label Afrique Boys Entatainment (ABE).

Inkreece is an origin of Ado local government area in Benue state, a north central state in Nigeria. He was born into the well respected family of the Otsepa's. He also had his primary and secondary education in Makurdi, Benue state and then furthered his tertiary education at the Benue state university (BSU) where he had a degree in mass communication.

While growing up as a kid, Inkreece listened to alot of music in all genres and this influenced him to start writing music at the age of 15 and this gave him the ability to sing and rap. It is also the reason his style of music cuts across different genres and form of music to make something new, this is simply known as "fusion" which he is pretty good at.

Inkreece recorded his first rap song back in high school but he couldn't put it out and give it the promotion it needed so it was only heard by his friends. Then he recorded another track, a trap music with his best friend from growing up Mahd Jay who is a producer, and again the jam wasn't given the right promotion it needed. But they never stopped, they kept their hopes high and kept on making good music with the help of a state of the art producer who goes by the name Bizzouch in a mini studio they created.

Inkreece was born into a christian home and immediately after his secondary education, Inkreece joined a gospel rap band in church where he did great. All of these wasn't enough for young Inkreece, so he'd always sneak out from home to attend music concerts and shows simply because his parents were against it, but this wasn't a problem for him because he had passion for music and he did everything be with what he loved which was music. Soon he had a shot to perform at a school's press day event, although it was his first performance live to a large crowd, Inkreece did well and from that moment he started getting support for alot of people and this gave him more reason to make music.

Inkreece was later discovered by Pavic and Veedo founders of Afrique Boys Entatainment (ABE). The label is committed to give him all he needs to rise to stardom. The idoma youngster has released some interesting songs like; Jewish Bag, Geng Up (feat. Exzify), Losse Guard etc. With no doubt, Inkreece is a handsome, hardworking and an easy going star with a focused mindset on winning Inkreece is currently single with no child and not in for any relationship as he wishes to focus on his career. He residents in an apartment provided by his label Afrique Boys Entatainment in Lagos, Nigeria.

Kante and Alonso start, Hudson-Odoi benched - predicted Chelsea team vs Atletico Madrid

The Blues are back in Champions League action this evening against the La Liga leaders and here is how we think they could line up

Thomas Tuchel takes his first steps into the Champions League as Chelsea head coach this evening when his side face Atletico Madrid in the last 16.

The Blues were handed one of the tougher draws in the round of 16 as they were paired with the La Liga leaders. Tonight’s game will take place in Bucharest rather than at the Wanda Metropolitano, owing to coronavirus travel restrictions.

The Spanish side have been in Romanian capital a little longer than the Blues, who departed for the continent on Monday afternoon.

One player who didn’t travel was Thiago Silva with the defender not named in the 23-man squad as he has failed to fully recover from a thigh injury sustained against Tottenham Hotspur and has missed the last three games.

Two who did make the trip however were Christian Pulisic and Kai Havertz. The duo missed the weekend draw with St Mary’s but have been included for the European tie and flew out with the squad on Monday.

Tuchel has a couple of selection dilemmas on his hands with an almost fully fit squad and the German is looking forward to the tie.

AZPILICUETA DETAILS CHELSEA'S IMPROVEMENTS UNDER THOMAS TUCHEL

He said on Monday at his pre-match press conference: "I am totally into Chelsea, totally into this club, and 100% into this team. That is why it does not feel so strange anymore, it feels natural to arrive now with my team in Bucharest and I am very happy to arrive with this group.

"We feel strong. We know we have to be strong and brave and have the courage to play against a strong Atletico but this is the challenge we are looking forward to."

With all that in mind, here is how we think the Blues might lineup in Bucharest this evening: Mendy; James, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Christensen, Alonso; Kante, Kovacic, Mount; Werner, Giroud.

We have once again gone with the back five for the Blues but with one change from the draw with Southampton on Monday as Andreas Christensen comes back into the side, replacing Kurt Zouma.

In midfield, N’Golo Kante keeps his place in our side at the expense of Jorginho after the Frenchman returned to form with a fine showing at St Mary’s. He is once again partnered in midfield by Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount.

Up front, we have opted for Olivier a Giroud instead of Tammy Abraham, who was seen sporting an ice pack on his troublesome ankle after being hauled off at half time on Saturday.

Diego Simeone makes bold claim about Chelsea squad ahead of Champions League clash

Callum Hudson-Odoi, who was subbed off after coming off the bench for only half an hour at the weekend, is among our substitutes once again as Timo Werner gets the nod alongside Giroud.

In defence, Reece James keeps his image at right wing back while Marcos Alonso does likewise on the left against a side who was rumoured to be interested in purchasing him while the Spaniard was frozen out under Frank Lampard.

That once again means Ben Chilwell is among the substitutes in Bucharest.

In goal, Edouard Mendy keeps his place ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga while captain Cesar Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger start as two of the three centre backs alongside the returning Christensen.
