    “Cap” is a lie or exaggeration.

    So “no cap” is “I’m not lying/I’m being serious.”

      Do you by any chance know if this expression stems from twitch chat? I’ve heard the expression “No Kappa” pretty early there where kappa is the trollface of the platform often indicating something is meant ironically.

      On the flip side “No Cap” could indicate the absence of irony and therefore something bering dead serious

        If I remember correctly, it’s from a Travis Scott song. But I don’t typically listen to rap, so I wouldn’t know for sure.
