A softened but sincere acknowledgment of a truth that someone might be slightly embarrassed to admit fully — said casually to avoid the weight of a full confession while still being honest. Low key real is how you cop to something true without making it a big deal: you're admitting it, but quietly, with plausible deniability still intact.

It's the slang for plausible deniability wrapped in casual delivery — technically a lie, but executed with just enough restraint to make the other person second-guess themselves.
