Nicki Minaj isn’t letting the fatal Manchester, England, suicide bomb affect how she puts on a show and none of her upcoming concerts will be canceled because of it.

“We don’t operate in fear,” Minaj tells TMZ Tuesday, May 23. “Nope. [That would only send the message] that they win.”

As pop singer Arianna Grande’s concert was wrapping up Monday, a bomb exploded in Manchester Arena, resulting in the death of 22 concert-goers, including children. Grande suspended her “Dangerous Woman” tour dates through June as a result.

“Ariana’s my sister and I love the people in the UK,” Minaj says. “And I’m devastated by the news. It’s heartbreaking.”

Minaj, who is gearing up for a show in New York City Friday, plans to perform in Manchester in 2018.

“Of course I’m gonna perform for my Manchester fans,” she says. “They deserve it.”
