The Angel 102.9 FM host to Facebook on Sunday, January 4, 2025, to mourn the death of Ernest Gyamfi Donkor, also known as Worry Not, her friend, school father, and dedicated listener.
According to the media personality, Worry Not, who was pursuing a PhD in Russia, died after returning to Ghana over the holiday period. He reportedly died from heart failure.
"Death! 😭 took ‘Worry Not’ my senior and school father away, and it’s hard to accept - after all the hustle for PHD in Economics in Russia 🇷🇺 Died after a visit to Ghana 🇬🇭 What's happening? We lost a brain and an entertainer, a father, husband, a globetrotter who is dearly loved by every man and woman," she wrote.
Ohemaa Woyeje noted their relationship began when they were both students at Sunyani Senior High School (SUSEC) and he became her school father. Later in life, she said Worry Not supported her career immensely, often tuning in to her show, whether in Ghana or abroad, and often leaving comments and feedback for her.
The Yadwumanie host described Worry Not as a fine gentleman and great brother, father, academian, and entertainer.
"Such a fine gentleman, so lovely since I knew you in the year 2000 till date. I’m going to miss you a lot. Who would send me the feedback from fans abroad? The bits of recordings of my own show u send to me when u tune in? The Facebook live comments and beautiful feedback whenever I mention ur name on air. I cannot finish writing the memories I will behold 4eva 🕊️ #RestInPeace brother, father, academian, entertainer, & all others. This hit hard!" she wrote.
