When a drop of water falls, it is called a drip. Or when something has a small leak, sometimes we call that a drip if the leak is not very big or fast. When you pick up something that is wet, and a few drops of water fall off, that is called "dripping" or saying that "it dripped".
So being careful not to drip and make a mess. Coming in from the rain and your coat drips some water onto the floor. When your hair is wet, it will drip water. If you are not careful when serving soup, then you might drip some of it onto the table. It is not always water, but it is always liquid. So when someone cries, the tears might drip when they fall off their face.
Also this might help: https://www.wordreference.com/enit/drip showing what is a similar word for it in Italian.

@OwLeho got it thank you. Is it possible I’ve heard in some movie someone saying “you got no drip” referring to their look?

@LucaFarina That sounds like street slang, so anything is possible. I wasn't familiar with it, but I just looked it up on google. It looks like there have been a couple songs, quite a few rappers, maybe a meme or two, etc that used that as a phrase. So yeah, it's a slang phrase somewhere.
It looks like "you got no drip" = you have no sense of fashion, you've got no style, you have no swag. If I were to guess, it might tie in with slang that links swag with expensive jewelry like diamonds, so dripping with fancy swag like it is just hanging off of you. "dripping with diamonds" is an old phrase, so it could be a modern twist on it. Or wearing so many expensive things that it is almost like you are dripping with money. Or using it as a metaphor, like the term "sauce" is sometimes used as slang to mean accessories that are adding flavor to their outfit, so then "drip" might be taking that imagery a bit further? It is slang, so any (or all) of this could have inspired it.
Either way, it is using that type of imagery as an exaggerated description of fashion and trendy looks. And if "you got no drip" then you're all plain, got nothing to show off, so you're not being trendy/fashionable/stylish.
So what you remember hearing from a movie or something is probably true. It could easily be used to talk about someone's look.
