Fancy, who is also referred to as the "sports god" by his followers, joined Wontumi in 2025, stepping in after King Eben's departure for Lawson Media.
His stint at the station lasted roughly one year. Notably, the broadcaster offered no indication of where he is headed next.
Fancy Di Maria's journey through Ghanaian radio
Before becoming a household name in sports broadcasting, Fancy cut his teeth at O FM and Winners FM, where he refined his delivery and cultivated the energetic presenting style that would eventually define his career, according to TM Motion.
In 2015, he made a pivotal move to Angel FM in Kumasi, a chapter that many would consider the cornerstone of his rise to prominence.
There, he developed a particular focus on European football and transfer news, building a devoted listenership across Ashanti Region through his lively approach to sports commentary.
He remained at Angel FM for several years before relocating to Silver FM in Bantama in May 2020, where he took on key sports programming responsibilities and continued expanding his reach.
By early 2024, Fancy had joined Sompa FM, where he became a central figure in the station's sports department.
His move to Wontumi followed shortly after, rounding out a career that has taken him through some of the most prominent radio stations in Ghana's second city.
With his latest exit now confirmed, attention turns to where the prominent sports voice will land next.
