      “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.

      popularized from the Young Thug and Future track of the same name:

      My bitch can’t sleep at my house
      Make her sleep at a hotel now
      And when you talk, man, you talking off cap
      And your diamonds they looking like tap
      I was always ducking from the paps
      Keep an R&B bitch in my lap
      Out in Beverly Hills, I adapt
      But I still had to ride with that strap

      Yellow diamonds like banana, that’s cap
      Put some dirty in Mello Yello, no cap
      Rocking Maison Margiela’s, that’s cap
      Red bitch, Cinderella, no cap
      I can turn perroI can turn Pedro
      Bad bitch out the ghetto
