I've been seeing this a lot lately where cap is used for a lie or lying. Like "stop the cap" means stop lying, or "no cap" means no lie. I feel like I've been living under a rock over the past several years and had no idea this was a slang term until recently.

"No cap" is the same amount of syllables as "no lie" though.
Without truth, there is nothing.
Is it cause people look shady when they wear caps so they must be liars?

I think the first time I heard it was around 2017ish?

Since it was my friends I heard it from, I thought it was based off a Captain America meme that was currently going around or something.

In Black slang, to cap about something is to brag, to exaggerate, or to lie about it. This meaning of cap dates back to the early 1900s.
History lesson: In the 1940s, according to Greens Dictionary of Slang, to cap is evidenced as slang meaning to surpass, connected to the ritualized insults of capping (1960s). These terms appear to be rooted in the sense of cap as top or upper limit.
So, no cap has the sense of no lie, no joke, for real, or not bragging. The expression is closely associated with slang in Atlanta-area hip-hop. It appears on Twitter by at least 2012, though it was almost certainly in use in spoken English before then.

The little bit of slang I know these days all comes from here.

It's always like "what does this mean"

And, it kinda varies between "haha yeah it's slang" and like, the pianist stops playing and the cowboys over at the card table all start gathering their chips and the marshall lumbers over to inquire just where the hell I come from.
There's a difference between canon and not-stupid.
