I know I'm old but what does 'no cap' mean?

    A cap is a lie /exaggerated boast so no cap = I am being serious or this is the truth

    “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

    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
