Tega was born and bred in the slums of Ajakoro Community to Ajiri and Deborah Edewor, a hardworking lower-class family. His parents worked hard to get him a decent education as they had dreams to ensure their son didn’t live the life they lived in the slums. Tega's closest ally is his father (until his death) and Funbi, a childhood friend for whom he harbours romantic feelings—though those feelings are not always reciprocated. His fiercest rival is Odafe Jnr, the son of his nemesis, Chief Odafe.
