Ortega Henderson Tega is dead

Ortega Henderson or Tega is dead. Rapper Tega died of shot wounds from a May 16 shooting in town. Nelly’s St Lunatic Kiyjuan Henderson confirms Tega’s death to press:

“He got mixed up in the streets, but he was so talented, we thought we could pull him out of it. He was on the right path for a minute, but times are hard and he started getting around the wrong people.”

Tega, who was a member of rap group Da Camp, was in the midst of working on their new album when the shooting took place. Details of the confrontation have yet to be made clear.

Nelly’s label, Blu Bolden of Derrty Entertainment, told the Post-Dispatch:

“He was an aspiring rapper, a really talented guy. He was trying to do his artistry and get out of the streets.”

Ortega Henderson was in a heap of trouble with the authorities before his demise for first-degree felony tampering with a motor vehicle, and unlawful use of a weapon charges.

A memorial was held last week. Funeral arrangements are set for Thursday in St Louis, the location not announced to press.
